Terracotta Voile d'Été (No.25, Quand Vient l'Été)

Terracotta Voile d'Été, also known as No.25 Quand Vient l'Été, is a 1999 Guerlain oriental floral that opens with an unusually dense bouquet. The listed top notes read like a full pyramid: carnation, ylang-ylang, vanilla, lily, iris, heliotrope, pear, mint, jasmine, rose, and citruses all appear at the top. In practice, expect a warm, spicy floral rush—carnation and ylang-ylang leading with a powdery iris-heliotrope backdrop, lifted by mint and pear. The base is not specified, but the accords (floral 100%, warm spicy 76%, vanilla 75%, white floral 69%, powdery 68%, yellow floral 66%) suggest a soft, vanillic drydown. This is a collector's piece for those who appreciate complex, old-school Guerlain florals with a spicy, powdery character. It suits wearers who enjoy vintage-style orientals and are comfortable with a dense, layered opening. Best for cooler weather or evening wear, and for anyone seeking a discontinued gem that embodies the transition from summer to autumn.

Terracotta Voile d'Été（又名 No.25 Quand Vient l'Été）是 Guerlain 於 1999 年推出的東方花香調。前調出乎意料地豐富，包含康乃馨、依蘭、香草、百合、鳶尾、天芥菜、梨、薄荷、茉莉、玫瑰與柑橘，形成溫暖辛香的花束，粉感與黃花香氣交織。基調雖未列出，但從香調比例（花香 100%、暖辛 76%、香草 75%、白花 69%、粉感 68%、黃花 66%）可推測尾韻柔和且帶香草甜意。此香適合鍾情複雜、復古風格 Guerlain 花香調的收藏家，以及喜歡辛香粉感東方調的人。建議於涼爽天氣或晚間使用，是尋找停產珍品、感受夏末秋初氛圍的理想選擇。
