What does Osmanthus smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate: not a loud perfume, one that stays close. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, with fall not far behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions, and over half of voters read it as feminine.
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and pink pepper, bright and lively. In the heart, jasmine, tuberose and osmanthus build the floral core. The base of iris, white musk and apricot leaves it powdery, soft and gently fruity-sweet.
