Jijide Shao Guan EDP
Description
Shao Guan is the scent of nostalgia — a warm, floral reverie that lingers in a happy memory rather than the present moment. Created by perfumer Maurizio Cerizza for Jijide’s Personality Collection, it opens with sparkling lemon zest, pink grapefruit, and bitter orange, like a sudden recollection. Magnolia and Taif rose bloom at the heart with a touch of spice, softening into almond, musk, and patchouli at the base. Also known as "Giardino D’Infanzia" (Childhood Garden), the name Shao Guan (韶光) means "beautiful times" in Chinese — a portrait of that bittersweet state of mind where the past feels more vivid than the present.
Scent Character
- Floral — dominant: magnolia and Taif rose form a lush, romantic heart
- Fresh — prominent: lemon zest, pink grapefruit, and bitter orange brighten the opening
- Sweet — moderate: almond adds a soft, comforting gourmand touch to the base
- Woody — supporting: patchouli and musk provide earthy depth and longevity
Translation: A floral-citrus composition centered on magnolia and Taif rose, brightened by zesty citrus and softened by an almond-musk base — the warmth of a happy childhood memory.
