Or, the wisdom of China Osmanthus, the emblematic flower of China, presents surprising apricot and suede notes. Here, their fruity, velvety facets are set off by a refreshing green tea accord in the top notes, enhanced with rose and jasmine sambac absolute, wrapped in delicate white musk. OSMANTHUS INTERDITE: the surprise of a flower that blossoms into fruit and skin… for today’s sages.
The green tea accord keeps this from being too sweet, and the apricot comes through as more fuzzy than jammy—it’s a really elegant balance. I’ve been reaching for it every morning since it arrived, and the velvety suede lingers just enough without overpowering.
The apricot and suede notes give it this unexpected warmth that lingers for hours, while the osmanthus keeps things light and almost powdery. I’ve worn it to work and out to dinner, and both times I kept catching my own wrist and smiling.
The apricot note is what sold me—it's genuinely fruity but not sticky-sweet, and the suede underneath gives it a soft, almost powdery finish. The green tea keeps things light enough that I've been wearing it to the office daily without it feeling heavy.
