Navitus Parfums XO Brandy is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Sidonie Lancesseur.

Navitus Parfums's XO Brandy carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

XO Brandy is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with an undeniable boozy, date-forward sweetness. If you're after a dark, alluring scent that performs, this might be your winter obsession.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its sweet, boozy, and dark profile, make it less suitable for an office but excellent for date nights and evening events. Reviewers frequently mention it being perfect for 'Netflix and chill' or 'expensive restaurant' settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a rich, syrupy blast of dates and davana, immediately inviting. The heart reveals a warm brandy accord, intertwining with hints of heliotrope and a touch of roasted coffee, providing a sophisticated depth. As it settles, a sweet sugar cane note emerges, softened by creamy sandalwood and a grounding patchouli, creating a smooth, dark, and utterly delectable drydown.
