Xian

Xian opens with a sharp bite of nutmeg and black pepper that catches breath, then settles into a woody-tart core where cedar meets the bright, slightly sour whisper of rhubarb. The base unfolds as a creamy drift of sandalwood and musk, grounding the spice and green notes into something warm and skin-close. There's a tensile quality throughout—earthiness threaded with acidity, never softening into sweetness.
