Longevity:
10–14 hours on skin, days on clothes. Naxos is a beast mode extrait de parfum with ~40% oil concentration. One spray at 8 AM projects until dinner. Two sprays survive a full day, dinner, drinks, and remain on skin the next morning. On coats and scarves, the honey-vanilla-tobacco base lingers for weeks. This is not a skin scent after six hours; it is a slow-burning fire that stays warm through dusk and dawn.

Sillage:
Loud for the first 1–2 hours, then heavy-to-moderate for 8–12 hours. The opening lavender and bergamot push 4–5 feet, but the honey heart projects thickest — sticky, golden, and impossible to ignore. Strangers turn heads in elevators. Friends grab your wrist to ask what you’re wearing. After 90 minutes, tobacco and vanilla settle into a 2–3 foot scent bubble that lingers in hallways long after you’ve left. Two sprays maximum. Three sprays is offensive.

Occasion:
Cold weather signature,  evenings by the fireplace, Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings, New Year’s Eve, date nights at upscale restaurants, black-tie galas, weddings, whiskey and cigar lounges, mountain lodge weekends, wearing under wool or leather, or any moment you want to smell expensive, warm, and unforgettable. Too rich for hot weather  (honey and vanilla become cloying). Too loud for conservative offices, libraries, or hospitals unless applied with extreme restraint (one half-spray). This is the scent of someone who understands quiet luxury, appreciates craftsmanship, and leaves an impression without saying a word. Naxos is not a compliment magnet because it is loud — it is a compliment magnet because it is memorable. Wear it when you want to be the answer to “Who is that?”
