Sweet Sin – Inspired by XJ 1861 Naxos Xerjoff

It feels like a late Sicilian evening warm breezes drifting through citrus orchards, the scent of sun-cured leaves lingering in the amber light, capturing Italy’s timeless soul in a modern and magnetic way.

Inn-o-scents presents XJ 1861 Naxos an inspired tribute to Xerjoff’s most celebrated creation from the XJ 1861 Collection, presented for the first time at Esxence 2015 in Milan as part of three fragrances dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy. Naxos celebrates Sicily and its beauty, accentuating its Mediterranean character with a composition where citruses in the top notes pose contrast to precious spices suggesting the wealth of a unified country, its conquests and dominance.

Naxos is gourmand perfumery at the highest level. A smoother, more refined experience an irresistible blend of cinnamon tobacco, benzoin and honey woven with Mediterranean citruses, aromatic lavender and vanilla. At the same time sweet, mature, dry and resinous in a perfectly balanced way.

The Fragrance Journey:

Opening — The Citrus Orchards:

The composition opens with classic, airy and fruity citrus notes of bergamot and lemon surrounded with gentle and calming lavender shades. A very tart lemon and lime combination that quickly settles down into something sweeter and more refined. The remarkable beauty of Naxos begins here the perfectly smooth integration of honeyed lavender and vanilla. It is not a fresh green lavender it is a soft-as-cashmere, seductive, honeyed lavender that does not wake you up but rather lulls you into a state of complete contentment. A lullaby, not an alarm.

Heart — The Sicilian Baroque:

The heart blends sambac jasmine with cinnamon, cashmeran and honey whose romantic trail creates something simultaneously baroque and beautifully modern. Backdrops of honey, vanilla and cinnamon smooth out the fruity opening completely. Tobacco, tonka and the cinnamon in particular darken the scent, creating a good balancing act between the lighter and darker elements. The sweet is never too overbearing, the dark center is never too heavy a unique composition of how many gourmands that incorporate citrus-powdery-floral elements can you actually come across in niche perfumery?

Base — The Amber Light:

The base is intoxicating, powdery, benzoin-laden and deeply sensually perturbing. Definitely cinnamon and honeyed benzoin in the mix finally starry, poignant and coldly spicy in the frosty night. Tobacco leaf, tonka bean and vanilla create a warm, smooth finish of extraordinary staying power. The blending is superb as is the longevity. A grown up semi-gourmand that is leagues ahead of anything at designer price points its rich warmth balanced by the aromatic lavender and darker tobacco facets in a way that feels genuinely luxurious. Longevity is 8 to 10 hours on skin.
