What does Osmanthe Liu Yuan smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business use lead the occasions. Votes on character put feminine and modern first, though a fair share call it masculine.

It opens with blackcurrant, green notes and mandarin orange, and jasmine, osmanthus and iris form a floral heart. The base holds patchouli, musk, peach, apricot and leather. A fresh, green start gives way to something fruity, sweet and lightly spicy, with a leathery edge staying in the background.
