By the editors · 2 min readThe Different Company's Osmanthus opens with orange and bergamot — a clean, solar citrus that functions as a blank canvas rather than a statement. The opening is brief and purposeful, making room for the heart as quickly as possible.
Osmanthus dominates the heart, as it should: the note is famously multifaceted, reading simultaneously as apricot, leather, and tea leaf depending on the wearer. Jasmine and rose support it without competing, providing a floral backdrop that lifts the osmanthus's complexity without distorting it.
Castoreum in the base is the unexpected depth charge — faintly animalic, warm, and polarizing. Combined with pink pepper's spice and musk's skin-like closeness, it gives the osmanthus a body that prevents the composition from reading as merely pleasant. A precision floral for those who know what osmanthus is capable of.
