What does Osmanthus Abricot / Osmanthus (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens bright and juicy with bitter orange, apricot and pear. At the heart, Chinese osmanthus absolute carries the floral side, while Mahonial® and carrot seed add a dry, slightly green edge. The base of cedarwood, ambrettolide and sandalwood settles the sweetness onto a soft, woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin and wears quietly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. It is classed as feminine. Esprit Feel Happy for Women and Anna Sui Anna Sui have a close profile.
