Real talk
Not a polite tea. The osmanthus here leans dark, smoky, almost noir. There's something slightly wicked about it, and that edge is exactly what makes it worth wearing. Lasts a full workday.Osmanthus Absolu
If you love osmanthus but find it often disappears too quickly, this one holds onto it. The real show is the rich, suede-like floralcy of osmanthus and jasmine.Fleur du Mal
