About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Secret Intent (2001) is a discontinued Guerlain floral that opens with an unexpected pairing: bergamot and coriander over a distinct tea note. The result is bright but herbal, less sweet than typical Guerlain openings. The heart expands with peony and jasmine, while coriander, bergamot, cardamom, and lemon reappear—an unusual structural choice that keeps the fragrance shifting between fresh, aromatic, and floral. Collectors should expect a transparent, almost sparkling composition rather than a dense bouquet.
The base of tonka bean, sandalwood, and vanilla grounds the brightness with a soft, creamy warmth. With main accords listed as fresh (100%), aromatic (96%), and floral (96%), this leans toward daytime wear in spring and summer. It suits those who appreciate lighter Guerlain releases or seek a tea-and-citrus floral with a subtle spicy edge. The inclusion of coriander in both top and heart notes gives it a savory quality that sets it apart from sweeter peony scents. Now discontinued, it remains a niche find for collectors who prefer restrained elegance over projection.
中文簡介
Secret Intent(2001)係 Guerlain 已停產嘅花香調香水。前調以茶、芫荽、佛手柑開場,清新中帶草本氣息,唔似典型 Guerlain 咁甜。中調有牡丹、茉莉,同時再次出現芫荽、佛手柑、小荳蔻、檸檬,令香氣喺清新、芳香同花香之間游走。後調用零陵香豆、檀香、雲呢拿打底,帶出柔滑暖意。主調以清新(100%)、芳香(96%)、花香(96%)為主,適合春夏白天使用,鍾意輕盈 Guerlain 或者茶香柑橘花香嘅人會欣賞。芫荽喺前中調重複出現,添咗少少辛香,有別於一般甜牡丹。已停產,係收藏家值得留意嘅小品。
