What does Osmanthe Yunnan smell like?
Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the wearer rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter gets very few votes. More voters call it feminine, though a good share read it as masculine.
The top notes are tea and orange, giving a citrusy, fresh, green opening. In the heart, freesia and osmanthus add a soft floral touch. The base holds leather and apricot, where fruity and lightly spicy tones settle into a leathery finish. Lancôme Aroma Tonic and Memo Paris Moon Fever / Moon Safari have a close profile.
