SweetWhat does Osmanthus / 颐和金桂 smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin and is noticed mostly by those nearby. With few votes behind it, that impression is only a rough guide.
It opens with green notes, peach and bitter orange, which bring a fresh, lightly fruity sweetness. The heart is led by violet, rose, jasmine and osmanthus, and the floral side clearly dominates. White musk and amber in the base soften it and add a gentle sweetness. Crabtree & Evelyn Evelyn Rose and René Garraud Nuit Magique Aube have a close profile.
