Alejandro Ponsá brings us Xanath, a perfume that, while smelling of vanilla, is so much more than that. It opens with an explosion of Ylang Ylang, citrusy and aldehydic, giving that solar and airy yet warm sensation. It’s contagious and comforting. As it dries down, the balsamic vanilla takes over, exquisite and far from that dusty or cheap ice cream smell. The myrrh and benzoin add depth and nuance the vanilla, creating a delicious blend that makes you want to bite your arm. Moderate projection but enormous longevity; it’s a scent for close quarters that doesn’t overwhelm, something difficult to achieve with a vanilla. It’s a pleasure to feel Ponsá’s naturalness, with almost all natural ingredients. A great perfume, greetings.
If this were in a bottle by Casamorati or Kilian, it would be the niche bomb of the year. Not because it’s original, but because it’s a delight. It’s one of the best sweet vanilla myrrhs I’ve tried, perhaps the best. It opens sparkling, like a banana cake (I think it’s the Ylang Ylang with orange and aldehydes). Then the resinous, very sweet and floral vanilla starts to take over. It’s fine and elegant. It has an animalic base, civet-like, but so soft it doesn’t turn anyone away. Simply exquisite. If you’re like me, hunting for Alién Essence Absolu and loving balsamic and vanilla scents, you’ll adore this. I tested it months ago, after sampling hundreds of perfumes, and this, simple and unpretentious, waited for me on the shelf as if it knew its turn was coming. Today I finally bought it. If you get the chance, try it. It’s a gem.
Xanath is one of the best vanilla perfumes I’ve tried. It’s balsamic, resinous, and slightly dark, supported by myrrh and benzoin, but with a cheerful side, a fresh and citrusy opening, and a delicious Ylang Ylang heart. In short, A PERFUME FOR SMELLING GOOD. The performance is that of an extrait de parfum: extremely long-lasting, but with contained projection, suitable only for close distances. As happens with vanillas, it blends with the skin creating a beautiful sensation without seeming like you’re wearing perfume. It’s very versatile and a top choice for lovers of sweet scents. Scent: 10, Longevity: 9, Sillage: 6, Versatility: 9, Originality: 8, Value for money: 8, Overall: 10.
