The quick answer

Is Xerjoff Naxos worth trying?

Naxos is a polished sweet-tobacco fragrance whose bright lavender and citrus keep the honey, vanilla and tonka from feeling flat.

It is an excellent choice for cooler evenings and special occasions, but its richness and luxury price make a 10ml decant the sensible first step.
