Revlon Xia Xiang is a Cologne launched in 1987. Xia Xiang opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Revlon's Xia Xiang carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This 80s drugstore classic still has a cult following for a reason: it's a beautifully balanced floral oriental that smells far more expensive than its original price tag. A real lost gem.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opening with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and tangerine, Xia Xiang quickly transitions into a rich, complex floral heart. Orange blossom, jasmine, and ylang-ylang intertwine, creating a warm, slightly creamy bouquet. The dry down is where the magic truly unfolds, settling into a comforting base of smooth sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and a subtle sweetness from vanilla and peach, all rounded out by a hint of calming chamomile.
