Osmanthus opens with a honeyed apricot brightness that is immediately trimmed by the bitter-green snap of clary sage, creating a suede-like fruit accord that feels dry rather than syrupy.

By the editors · 2 min readOsmanthus opens with a honeyed apricot brightness that is immediately trimmed by the bitter-green snap of clary sage, creating a suede-like fruit accord that feels dry rather than syrupy. Iris enters next, its cool carrot-root powder softening the edges and pulling the osmanthus toward a muted, pastel leather. The leather base is smooth, vegetal-tanned hide, not smoky birch tar; it absorbs the lingering apricot flesh of osmanthus so the final skin scent smells like pale gloves stained with dried fruit pulp. Projection stays within handshake radius for six hours, tilting the wear toward cool spring days and crisp white-shirt offices where subtle distinction matters more than loud statement.
