Jijide Xan Hai EDP
Description
Xan Hai is the scent of the explorer’s mind — that restless, daring spirit that sets sail toward the unknown with eyes wide open. Created by perfumer Maurizio Cerizza for Jijide’s Personality Collection, it opens with artemisia, peach, and a splash of citrus that catch the first gust of departure. At the heart, incense charts a meditative, smoky course alongside geranium and cyclamen. The base lands on patchouli, cedar, tonka bean, and precious woods — earthy, deep, and anchored. Also known as "Impeto Blu" (Blue Impulse), the name Xan Hai (沧海) means "vast ocean" in Chinese — a portrait of the boundless curiosity that drives exploration.
Scent Character
- Woody — dominant: patchouli, cedar, and precious woods form a deep, earthy foundation
- Smoky — prominent: incense brings a meditative, resinous warmth to the heart
- Fresh — moderate: artemisia, peach, and citrus open with an unexpected brightness
- Sweet — supporting: tonka bean adds a subtle, vanillic sweetness to the base
Translation: A woody-aromatic composition with a bold incense heart, softened by fruity peach and artemisia, and grounded in a deep patchouli-cedar-tonka base — the restless energy of the open sea.
