However Alexandria Fragrances has a scent called 1981x that is supposed to be a clone of Naxos.

And then I decided to blind buy 1981X and gotta say it copies everything that Naxos does, same notes, decent longevity and sillage.

Afnan supremacy not only intense gets the most, but did get one woman saying that guy in front smells amazing from Alexandria 1981x which is a xerjoff naxos clone, which dare I say I prefer from the original.

I didn't pull the trigger because I tried Naxos and it wasn't my thing, but based on my research 1981x from Alexandria is a great Naxos clone.

Also I couldn’t find a lot of dupes in my country, no Alexandria 1981x (Xerjoff Naxos dupe), no Kismet Angel.

It gets compared to Havane quite a bit, but it's a clone of Xerjoff Naxos.

I think Voux Elegant or Alexandria 1981x would be a better clone if you are specifically after Naxos though.

Imo I like upside down more than side effect and 1981x is so close to naxos that Alexandria should be proud of themselves.

I only ever bought one Xerjoff clone and that’s Alexandria’s 1981x (Naxos).

Some of my fav clones are Alexandria’s 1981x (Naxos) and The Run Way (Reflection), as far as other houses, the only ME Clone’s to impress me have been very few from lattafa and Al Wataniah, Liquid Brun is good from FA but even that is kind of cloying to my nose, ghost spectre is another one I’d say
