Golden osmanthus in its full complexitygolden blossoms tinged with citrus, ripe apricot, juicy peach, tree sap, and deep, resinous amber.


The scent of the golden osmanthus in bloom was the earliest inspiration for creating the Japan Collection.

This perfume is our best approximation of kinmokusei, born from my own nostalgia to want to smell them again. We tried to capture the essence of the entire experience of walking past kinmokusei—of sap and heady blossoms combined.

The kinmokusei that line the streets of Japan perfume the air with a divine scent that signals the start of autumn. The heady, complex aroma of a single blossom is almost contradictory in nature; it is deep and resinous—similar to tree sap, amber, tobacco, and suede—yet laced with bright, ripe apricot, plum, peach, and orange.

Smells Like Nineties Carpet Freshener?

It's not... bad necessarily, but it smells exactly like the carpet freshener my mom used to sprinkle around the house before vacuuming. It's a little cloying to me, but I am not a fan of sweet smells. And this is definitely sweet, but less of a plum sweet and more of a chemically 'clean' sweet and a dash of suntan lotion. I am surprised that I don't perceive any fruit notes.

Juicy osmanthus tea!

Ordered a sample of this and am so happy I did, will definitely be getting a bigger bottle.

Beautiful peachy fruitiness with a light floral osmanthus, it reminds me so much of a lightly sweet osmanthus tea. At drydown I was getting some powder, the amber I imagine. Altogether so lovely!

Clean, fresh fruit

I received this as a sample and I'm now considering a full-size! It's perfectly balanced between fresh fruit, hints of amber, and flower blossoms. It dries down to a soft, clean scent, reminding me of spring rain. Highly recommend!

Cheerful

Received as a sample with my order. I like it and I'd consider doubling back for a roller ball ... but there are so many others higher on my list to order!

Smell like a bowl of honey drizzled Just ripe peaches and Apricots

This is probably gonna be one of my favorite scents for Spring, and a full size buy. I absolutely adore peach and citrus scents and this scent is Beautiful and Fresh from the citrus apricot and peach. But, is also rounded out by the deeper slightly rich scents of the treesap and amber. It is So beautifully balanced, though! I cannot stop smelling it. It does dry down to where it smells a bit more clean and less juicy, when the fruit scents fade out a bit. But, all I do is reapply a bit, or layer it with a top of a pure apple or peach scent. Probably one of my favorites out my sampler collection. A very uplifting scent! Like a playful spring witch walking down a tropical blvd lined with fruit trees (I am currently planning a roadtrip through florida, so that is tinging my imagination lol)
