If you like…

Xerjoff Naxos opens with lavender, bergamot and lemon and settles into tobacco, tonka bean and vanilla. If you like it and want something in the same spirit, whether for variety, a different price or another season, these are the closest matches in our catalog.

None of them is a copy. Each one shares part of the character of Naxos and takes it somewhere slightly different, which is what makes them worth trying.

How we picked. We compared every fragrance in our catalog with Naxos by olfactory family, shared notes, style, best seasons and intensity, and kept the 6 closest. Prices are typical US retail prices and may differ at checkout.
