About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Secret Intention opens with a brisk, almost savory tea note, sharpened by coriander and bergamot. It's an unusual start for a Guerlain floral, more green and aromatic than sweet. The heart blooms with peony and jasmine, but the coriander and bergamot reappear alongside cardamom and lemon, keeping the composition lively and slightly spiced. This is a floral for those who find most florals too prim.

The base settles into tonka bean, sandalwood, and vanilla, but never becomes heavy. Instead, it's a soft, powdery finish that feels like a second skin. Collectors who appreciate the house's quieter experiments—think Aqua Allegoria but with more complexity—will find this a fascinating wear. It suits spring and early summer days, office-friendly yet distinctive. If you love fresh, aromatic florals with a twist, Secret Intention is a worthy addition to your rotation.

中文簡介

Secret Intention 以茶香、芫荽與佛手柑開場,清新中帶微辛,有別於一般花香調。中調牡丹與茉莉綻放,但芫荽、佛手柑、小荳蔻與檸檬再次出現,令花香更活潑帶香料感。基調零陵香豆、檀香與雲呢拿,柔軟粉嫩,貼膚不厚重。整體清新、芳香、花香交織,適合春天或初夏,日常辦公或休閒皆宜。喜愛與別不同花香調的收藏家,會欣賞這份低調的複雜性。
