Xi an

Guerlain's Xi'an, released in 2021 and composed by Thierry, is a unisex floral green fragrance built on a starkly simple pyramid. Bamboo opens the composition with its cool, aqueous greenness, segueing into a heart of unspecified floral notes that read as soft and slightly powdery. The base is a single note: sandalwood, which provides a creamy, woody foundation. The listed accords—woody at 100%, floral at 69%, powdery at 51%, warm spicy at 46%, earthy at 38%—suggest a scent that is predominantly dry and woody, with floral and powdery facets close behind and a subtle spicy-earthy undercurrent.

This is a fragrance for collectors who appreciate restraint and clarity. Its minimal structure makes it an easy wear for spring and summer days, and its unisex character suits anyone who prefers green, woody scents without sweetness. Because it is discontinued, it holds appeal for those who value Guerlain's modern experiments. It will resonate with fans of sandalwood-forward compositions and those who enjoy the crispness of bamboo. Not a loud perfume, Xi'an is best for intimate settings and daytime wear, offering a quiet, polished presence.

Guerlain 喺2021年推出嘅 Xi'an，由 Thierry 調配，係一支中性花香綠調香水。香調結構極簡：前調係竹，帶嚟清涼水潤嘅綠意；中調係抽象花香，柔軟且帶粉感；基調只有檀香木，營造creamy木質底蘊。官方公佈嘅主調比例：木質100%、花香69%、粉感51%、暖辛46%、泥土38%，反映整體以乾燥木質為主，花香與粉感緊隨其後，底層有微弱辛香同泥土氣息。

呢支香適合鍾意克制、清晰風格嘅收藏家。結構簡單，春夏日常易穿，中性特質適合任何偏好綠意木質、唔鍾意甜味嘅人。由於已停產，對欣賞 Guerlain 現代實驗嘅人別具意義。鍾意檀香主導或竹青脆感嘅用家會特別受落。Xi'an 唔係張揚嘅香水，最適合親密場合同白天使用，散發低調而精緻嘅存在感。
