Y25 Jiufen Twilight — the scent of evening tea and incense
Y25 Jiufen Twilight is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2024 by the Vietnamese brand Y25.
Its olfactory character is built around spicy, oriental, balsamic and woody nuances, making the composition expressive, deep and imbued with the distinct atmosphere of an evening ritual.
The name Jiufen Twilight evokes the mood of twilight: the moment when daylight gradually dissolves into shadow and the air fills with the warmth of tea, resinous and woody nuances.
What makes this fragrance especially interesting is the combination of black tea and jasmine with incense, myrrh and sandalwood — a contrast between transparent floral freshness and dense oriental depth.
How it unfolds on the skin
Y25 Jiufen Twilight opens with an accord of black tea and jasmine.
The tea note gives the opening a dry, slightly astringent character, while jasmine adds a soft white-floral radiance and makes the scent feel more dimensional.
As the composition develops, it becomes warmer and richer.
Incense and myrrh form a spicy, resinous heart, while tonka bean adds roundness, a subtly sweet almond-like nuance and a cosy velvety texture.
As a result, the fragrance never feels flat: tea-like clarity gradually gives way to smoky balsamic depth and soft spicy warmth.
Character and sillage
In the base, benzoin, incense and sandalwood emerge, creating a long-lasting oriental accord with a warm woody-resinous character.
Benzoin softens the composition with a sweetish balsamic nuance, sandalwood adds creamy woodiness, while incense retains its distinctive smoky lift.
Y25 Jiufen Twilight is described as having very strong sillage, making it a good choice for those who enjoy noticeable fragrances with character.
It is especially suitable for evenings, cool weather, walks, meetings or occasions when you want to leave a memorable fragrant impression.
In the office or a small enclosed space, moderation is advisable, as the rich resinous base quickly fills the surrounding area.
The perfumer and the brand's style
The fragrance was created by Huynh Hai Yen.
In Jiufen Twilight, her work is expressed through a layered composition in which the tea note connects a luminous opening with the dark, almost temple-like depth of incense and myrrh.
For Y25, this release naturally continues the idea of Vietnamese perfumery poetry: the fragrance conveys not a literal landscape, but a state of mind composed of light, shadow, spices and warm resins.
Jiufen Twilight may appeal both to lovers of oriental fragrances and to those looking for an unusual interpretation of the tea theme with powerful sillage.
Who will enjoy Jiufen Twilight
This is a fragrance without a strict gender association, intended for women and men who enjoy rich oriental and spicy compositions.
It performs particularly well on the skin during the cooler seasons, when benzoin, incense, myrrh and sandalwood sound especially full and dimensional.
As a direction for further exploration, consider Yves Saint Laurent Opium — a more iconic reference in the world of spicy oriental perfumery.
Those who enjoy dense resinous scents may also be interested in Zoologist Perfumes Camel and The Merchant of Venice Fenicia, although each interprets the oriental theme in its own way.
