The FragDNA review · on paper
Sicily Offers a Richer Palette at Half the Price
FragDNA · compiled from a comparison on paper — the listed notes and prices; nobody has reviewed it yet · 22 October 2026
- Opening
- The opening promises a bright citrus‑spiced bouquet anchored by bergamot, lemon and a hint of lavender, sweetened by honey.
- Dry-down
- The dry‑down hints at a warm, creamy foundation of vanilla and tonka, softened by the woody‑amber of cashmeran and the subtle spice of tobacco leaf.
- Best for
- Warm gourmand evenings
Scentual Obsessions Sicily mirrors Xerjoff Naxos in its citrus‑spiced opening, featuring bergamot, lemon and lavender alongside honey and cinnamon. Both fragrances share a vanilla‑sweet base, but the dupe introduces cashmeran for a modern woody‑amber nuance, jasmine sambac for a fresher floral edge, and a tobacco leaf that differs from Naxos’s tobacco note. The inclusion of tonka bean aligns with the original’s tonka, albeit listed separately.
On paper the dupe is priced at $140 per 100 ml, considerably lower than Naxos’s $290, offering a more accessible entry point for those attracted by the shared citrus‑spice‑vanilla theme. No wearer reviews exist yet, so any assessment of performance remains speculative; the comparison here rests solely on the disclosed ingredient lists and price differentials.
The verdictPaper‑wise, Sicily captures many of Naxos’s key citrus and gourmand accords while adding a woody‑amber twist, and does so at roughly half the price. Whether the added notes bridge the gap left by the original’s jasmine and tobacco remains to be seen.

Worth a try
FragDNA score · on paper
On paper
On paper, Sicily is a reasonable bet if you want Naxos for less.
Scentual Obsessions lists 6 of the 9 notes in Naxos's pyramid — bergamot, lavender, lemon, honey and cinnamon and more. What it does not list: jasmine, tobacco and tonka; and it adds cashmeran, jasmine sambac and tobacco leaf of its own.
At $140 per 100ml it costs 52% less than Naxos — the 19th cheapest of 19 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot, lavender and lemon, turns to honey, cinnamon and jasmine, and settles into tobacco, tonka and vanilla. That is the brief Sicily is working from.

For nights that deserve gold. Lavender and citrus dissolve into honeyed tobacco, tonka and vanilla — a warm, opulent fougère you can almost taste.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 24 twins of Xerjoff Naxos we can price, Sicily is number 19 on price per 100ml.
