MY THOUGHTS

JIJIDE Lian Yen is more than a stellar freshie!

Before you even spray Lian Yen, the bottle tells its story. That sunset effect ombre glass practically screams “juicy goodness inside,” and it delivers on every promise that gorgeous presentation makes. This is a fragrance that understands the pure joy of citrus at its peak ripeness, capturing something sunny and celebratory that tested beautifully through the top heat of an Italian summer.

The opening arrives with mandarin juice as the undisputed star, but this isn’t the bitter, sharp citrus of peel or rind. This is the sweet core of the fruit when it’s very ripe and mushy, that moment of perfect ripeness when the juice runs down your fingers and the sweetness borders on intoxicating. Pink grapefruit adds brightness and a touch of tang, while peach tea contributes soft, fuzzy sweetness with a slightly astringent tea quality that prevents the opening from becoming too heavy.

The heart reveals where Lian Yen truly distinguishes itself. Honeysuckle elevates the mandarin sweetness to something almost magical, adding floral nectar that feels both natural and indulgent. Imagine the most posh summer popsicles paired with fresh lemonade, then add orange blossom syrup on the side. It’s fizzy and good in a way that makes you want to shout about it, yet it never crosses into juvenile territory. Addition of rose brings soft, golden floral warmth, while dewy tulip accord adds that unique fresh-watery green nuance that keeps everything bright and alive till the very end.

What’s remarkable is how JIJIDE Lian Yen maintains its mandarin presence on every step of the way. That stunning, happy citrus note never disappears or gets buried under florals or base notes. It’s a constant companion throughout the wearing experience, evolving but always recognizable, always joyful. Some might classify this as gourmand given the sweetness and that popsicle-lemonade quality, but it’s better described as fresh aromatic with white floral nuances. You won’t get olfactory diabetes from this despite the sweetness, as the composition maintains balance and lightness top to bottom.

The dry-down brings sweet wood for subtle fruity-woody touch, vibrant mosses that extend the fresh quality into the base, and dry woody touch of cedar grounda everything without weighing it down. These elements provide just enough structure to make the fragrance last while allowing the mandarin and florals to continue their sunny dance.

Lian Yen represents citrus-dominant scents in most joyful and wearable way. To me it is a fragrance that captures summer happiness. And yes, I almost finished full 50 ml of it. For anyone who gravitates toward mandarins, pomelos, and yuzu in their citruses preferences, this is simply irresistible for both me and you! It’s the kind of fragrance you can’t get enough of, one that brings a smile every time you wear it.
