PowderyWhat does Osmanthus smell like?
It opens with orange, mandarin orange and bergamot, bright and juicy. At the heart, Chinese osmanthus, leaf green and rose make it floral, green and a little fruity. The base of castoreum, pink pepper and musk settles it into a sweet, powdery finish.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Tocca Bianca and Acca Kappa Green Mandarin have a close profile.
