By the editors · 2 min readOsmanthus opens with a honeyed apricot skin aroma that feels suede-like rather than juicy, immediately setting a dusk-gold tone. Jasmine enters within minutes, amplifying the osmanthus with indolic creaminess while lily keeps the heart airy, stopping the accord from collapsing into syrup. Amber in the base acts as a dimmer switch, turning the floral radiance down to a soft glow that hovers just above skin. The composition stays linear: the opening osmanthus is still recognizable six hours later, now wrapped in a powdery yellow-amber haze rather than transformed. Projection stays intimate, creating a scented aura no larger than a dinner table, making it office-safe yet quietly sensual at dusk.
