Xian

by Céline Ripert

Ormonde Jayne Xian is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Céline Ripert. Xian opens with Pepper and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Rhubarb and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Musk. Ormonde Jayne's Xian carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This woody, fresh spicy scent from Ormonde Jayne is beautifully blended and truly unique, making it a love-it-or-hate-it scent for many. It's clean, warm, and sophisticated, but some find the musk and pepper combination challenging, even "poopy" or "biley".

Its clean, 'your skin but better' quality and moderate sillage make it ideal for the office and casual wear. The unique warmth could work for a date, but it might be too subtle for a formal event. It's definitely not one for the gym.

About

Xian opens with a bright, clean burst of fresh spice from black pepper and nutmeg. This quickly meets the unexpected tartness of rhubarb, creating a distinctive, almost fruity lift. As it settles, warm, elegant cedar and creamy sandalwood emerge, softened by a comforting, airy musk, leaving a subtle, "your skin but better" warmth that lingers.
