About Sicilia

Sicilia - An Exquisite Ode to the Passionate Heart of Sicily

Picture a Mediterranean evening. Lavender fields cascade down sunlit hillsides toward a cobalt sea. The air is thick with warmth, sweetness, and the quiet hum of something intoxicating just out of reach. Sicilia is that evening, bottled.

The opening is bright and aromatic: wild lavender entwines with sparkling bergamot and zesty lemon, a burst of southern light that feels both invigorating and impossibly elegant.

The heart reveals an unexpected richness. Golden honey and warm cinnamon melt into the velvety depth of cashmeran, while jasmine sambac threads its creamy, narcotic sweetness through every layer, transforming freshness into something deeply sensual.

At the base, tobacco leaf unfurls its smoky, aromatic warmth alongside the caramelized comfort of tonka bean and soft vanilla, a foundation that glows like lantern light on weathered stone.

Sicilia. For those who carry the warmth of the Mediterranean wherever they go.

Why Choose Sicilia Over 1861 - Naxos?

Shares the same core DNA as 1861 - Naxos: the opening lavender, the honey heart, and the tobacco leaf dry-down are all present and accounted for.
Designed for both men and women, making it a versatile choice for personal wear or gifting.
Part of the aromatic spicy family, with primary notes of Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon.
Longer wear time than many in its class — typically lasting 8+ hours on skin, with projection that suits both daytime and evening wear.
Priced to make the aromatic category accessible without sacrificing quality ingredients or formulation care.
Worth noting: as an alternative rather than the original, the projection and sillage may differ slightly from 1861 - Naxos — particularly in the first hour of wear. The character is faithful — the experience is its own.

The base of tobacco leaf and tonka bean gives Sicilia a smooth, skin-close finish that develops over time. The deeper presence of vanilla adds subtle complexity.

Why Is Xerjoff's 1861 - Naxos So Expensive?

Xerjoff's 1861 - Naxos carries a premium price for reasons that go beyond the juice itself. High-end fragrance houses invest heavily in brand positioning, campaign spend, and retail partnerships — costs that are folded directly into the price consumers pay. The bottle design, packaging, and distribution through luxury retailers add further overhead before a single spray is used. Raw materials also play a role: natural-sourced versions of notes like lavender or tobacco leaf can vary significantly in cost depending on sourcing and quality tier. Sicilia uses high-quality aroma compounds selected to replicate the character of 1861 - Naxos — without absorbing those downstream costs. The result is an aromatic fragrance that performs on skin with the same confidence, at a price that reflects the scent — not the status.

How does an aromatic fragrance for both women and men translate the brightness of lavender and the depth of honey into something wearable all day?

Sicilia answers that question with a well-structured composition: the lavender opening is clean and immediate, while the honey heart carries the identity of the scent through the middle hours. It's the tobacco leaf base that gives it staying power — and the kind of presence that draws compliments without demanding attention. Picture a Mediterranean evening.

If your ideal scent is clean, herb-forward, and built for everyday confidence, Sicilia belongs in your collection. It's the kind of fragrance you reach for without thinking — and reach for again tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sicilia a good dupe for 1861 - Naxos?

Yes — Sicilia is one of the closest alternatives available to 1861 - Naxos. It shares the same aromatic character, with matching top notes ofLavender, Bergamot, and Lemon, and a base that develops in a similar direction on skin. It won't be molecule-for-molecule identical — no alternative fragrance is — but the character, longevity, and overall impression are very close.

How does Sicilia compare to 1861 - Naxos in terms of longevity and sillage?

Sicilia typically lasts over eight hours on skin, which is comparable to — and in some cases longer than — 1861 - Naxos. Sillage (how far the scent projects) is moderate: noticeable in close quarters without being overpowering. As with any fragrance, performance will vary based on skin type, body heat, and where you apply it — pulse points like the wrists and neck generally give the best results.

What are the top notes of 1861 - Naxos?

The top notes of 1861 - Naxos include Lavender, Bergamot, and Lemon. These opening notes create the initial impression of the scent — typically the brightest and most volatile part of the composition, lasting the first 15–30 minutes on skin before giving way to the heart.

What are the middle and base notes of 1861 - Naxos?

The heart notes — which define the character of the scent once it settles — include Honey, Cinnamon, Cashmeran, and Jasmine Sambac. The base notes, which form the long-lasting dry-down, are Tobacco Leaf, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. Together they create the full arc of the fragrance from first spray to end of day.

What occasions is 1861 - Naxos best suited for?

Clean, fresh, and broadly appealing, 1861 - Naxos works well across most settings — work, travel, or casual social situations. Sicilia fits the same range of occasions.

What does Lavender smell like?

Lavender is one of the more recognisable opening notes in the aromatic family. In the context of Sicilia, it reads as green, slightly herbal, and clean — the kind of opening that reads as fresh without being generic.

Where can I find other fragrances similar to 1861 - Naxos?

You can browse our full range of alternatives to 1861 - Naxos on the Xerjoff collection page. We also carry a broader selection of aromatic fragrances if you'd like to explore the wider fragrance family.

How long does Sicilia last?

Sicilia typically lasts over eight hours on skin. For best results, apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — on moisturised skin. Applying to dry skin or over clothing can reduce longevity slightly.

How should I store and apply Sicilia?

Store Sicilia in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat — a drawer or cupboard works better than a bathroom shelf. Apply to pulse points on clean, moisturised skin. Avoid rubbing the fragrance in after spraying, as this can break down the top notes prematurely.

Is Sicilia suitable for sensitive skin?

Sicilia is formulated with high-quality ingredients and is designed for skin application. If you have sensitive skin or known fragrance sensitivities, we recommend a patch test on a small area of skin before full use. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs.

What are your shipping and return policies?
