By the editors · 2 min readOsmanthus opens the composition with a peach-apricot fruitiness lacquered over a leathery undertone — the flower's signature double face. There is no real top development beyond it; the osmanthus carries the first stretch alone.
The heart turns white-floral as jasmine arrives, sweetened and warmed by amber. The fruit-leather quality of the osmanthus persists, threading through the jasmine and softening its sharper edges.
In the base, sandalwood and patchouli form a dry, earthy spine, with vetiver adding a green-rooty dimension and a clean musk smoothing the seams. The overall character is a fruity-floral with a smooth, suede-like leather facet — neither sharp nor heavy, projecting moderately and settling into a warm, slightly powdery skin scent.
