Within the grand halls of the Tang dynasty, a solitary dancer, Yuyi, steps into the light. Her grace feels almost celestial, a fragment of heaven quietly descended into the mortal world. One dance is enough to captivate an entire city. Celestial Robe traces her steps with this fougere, starting with the zesty opening movement: tart orange, lemon and rhubarb, with pine and grapefruit adding sharpness and clarity. Galbanum underscores the green aspects, as a bouquet of woods (cedarwood and guaiac wood) and plush musk and ambergris round off the choreography.
Perfumer: Fanming Meng
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An afternoon spent absorbed in rehearsal, with the windows open and conversation kept low. The tart citrus and pine suggest alertness and precision, while mossy woods soften the impression at close range—a composed presence with a distinctly green, savory edge.
How to wear
The citrus-green profile lends itself to spring and mild summer weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the tart opening to settle into woods and musk before adding more. In warmer conditions, keep application light to give the sharp pine and galbanum room without overwhelming close company.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer citrus with bitterness and green texture rather than sweetness. Especially appealing to lovers of pine, galbanum and mossy woods who want a fougère with a tart rhubarb accent and a softer musky foundation.

Zhiwuzhi 挚物志’s story
Zhiwuzhi explores Eastern olfactory aesthetics through contemporary perfumery, drawing on Chinese fragrance traditions and the scents of herbs, woods and medicinal botanicals. Its approach is literary and individual rather than nostalgic: cultural references become modern compositions, not reconstructions of historical formulas.
Celestial Robe 羽衣’s concept
Part of the Chang’An collection, Celestial Robe takes inspiration from the Tang-dynasty Rainbow and Feather Robe dance. The composition translates that imagery into movement: tart citrus and rhubarb open sharply, pine and galbanum sustain the green line, and woods, moss and musk give the fragrance a softer landing.
Extra info
Celestial Robe also appears under the transliterated name Yuyi. It belongs to the Chang’An collection alongside Bamboo and Duality, and pairs its aromatic fougère structure with an unusual tart rhubarb accent.
