“I am a delicacy from elsewhere, brought back from China in traditional porcelain pots. A treasure of perfumers, an inspiration for tales and legends, my Osmanthus flower penetrates hearts with a tender feeling of sweetness, voluptuousness and nostalgia.
I am an exquisite elixir whose olfactory beauty is unparalleled. My floral heart, as soft as velvet, is supported by the roundness of musk and the vibrancy of pink peppercorns. Assertive and refined, my trail leaves a subtle and luminous imprint.
I am the memory of an emotion, felt by my perfumer on the other side of the world, striking and persistent, upon discovering the Forbidden City. The poetry of a different moment, lived with dazzling wonder. I am Osmanthus.
