What is the scent profile of Honeyed Tobacco?

Honeyed Tobacco opens with a bright, uplifting harmony of fresh Italian bergamot and lemon, instantly softened by a soothing wave of clean lavender. As the initial citrus sparkle gently subsides over the first thirty minutes, the fragrance transitions into a luxurious, warm heart where rich golden honey blends seamlessly with powdery jasmine sambac and spicy cinnamon. This evolving core captures the opulent spirit of Sicily, pays homage to Italian heritage, and evokes the artistry of the original house of Xerjoff. Finally, the scent settles into a magnificent, long lasting dry down of sweet tonka bean, smooth vanilla, and earthy tobacco leaf. The resulting aroma leaves a comforting, velvety, and enticing trail that commands absolute attention while remaining supremely niche class.

What Is the Scent Journey of Xerjoff 1861 Naxos?

The scent journey of Xerjoff 1861 Naxos begins with a vibrant burst of Italian bergamot and lemon, grounded by a clean, aromatic lavender accord. As the top notes settle within thirty minutes, the heart emerges, dominated by a luscious, golden honey note and warm cinnamon, beautifully supported by the soft woody character of cashmeran. In the dry-down phase, which lasts over eight hours on the skin, the fragrance transitions into a luxurious base of rich tobacco leaf and sweet coumarin, a natural organic compound found in tonka beans that gives the scent its signature almond-vanilla warmth.

How to Wear Honeyed Tobacco

• Pulse Points: Apply the roll-on to inner wrists, behind the ears, the base of the throat, and the inside of elbows. These warm spots activate and project the fragrance throughout the day.
• Layering Tip: To enhance the warm depth of Honeyed Tobacco, pair it with a simple woody or warm amber base. This adds an extra layer of complexity to the sweet honey notes.
• Seasonal Wear: This luxurious fragrance is best suited for cooler autumn and winter seasons when its rich tobacco notes can truly shine. Its comforting warmth makes it perfect for cosy evenings, formal gatherings, and sophisticated night-outs.
• Longevity Tip: Apply to moisturised skin for maximum longevity. The Fractionated Coconut Oil base adheres to hydrated skin significantly better than dry skin.
• Customise Your Scent: Add 1–2 drops of a purelyBlack essential oil to personalise the fragrance. We recommend pairing this sweet profile with bergamot or patchouli essential oil to elevate the spicy citrus top notes or deepen the earthy base.
