In early winter when most plants have gone dormant, gardeners await the arrival of the Osmanthus flower. Let your eyes wander and youÕll miss it: the momentary bloom of this delicate flower, treasured for its ethereal, sensual fragrance. Until it can surprise us again, we offer OSMANTHUS 19.
First impressions are notes of incense and aromatic lavender, before the titular flower emergesÉ creamy and uplifting, with woody, resinous tonalities close behind.
The composition is pure Kyoto, a nuanced scent for a town where traditional machiya houses sometimes harmonize with concrete and neon, where video game arcades can be found a stoneÕs throw from the gardens of emperors long past.
This oneÕs a haiku / for the Eternal City / just in Kyoto labs.
Apply fragrance to clean skin after showering, targeting pulse points such as wrists and behind the neck for optimal scent diffusion. Use a non-scented moisturizer first to prolong fragrance life. Avoid direct application on clothes and sensitive skin to prevent irritation and preserve the integrity of the scent.
