A musky fruity with a velvety sensuality that opens with the virtues of green tea, playing on all the facets of osmanthus, the emblematic flower of China.
A note with apricot and suede accents, sublimated by rose essence and sambac jasmine absolute, carried by the purity of crystalline musk.

OSMANTHUS INTERDITE, or the surprise of a flower that becomes skin and fruit... reserved for today's sages.

In the ancestral wisdom of China - long forbidden by Mao's Cultural Revolution - perfumes appear as an expression of the movement of life.

They mediate between heaven and earth, between the visible and the invisible, and transform matter into energy.

Emblematic flower of the Middle Kingdom, the osmanthus sums up this millenary philosophy which refuses the duality of body and soul, its smell refuses to cut between floral, fruity and animal facets, as if to better express the continuity of the world..

OSMANTHUS INTERDITE first evokes the virtues of Chinese tea, since this flower is often used to perfume it.

Tea again with sambac jasmine, a greener and fresher variety of the flower.

A suede facet deepens the velvetiness of the fragrance while rose essence enhances its fruity aspects.

And so the fragrance also becomes flavor, playing with the boundaries between the senses to transform the skin into forbidden fruit..

Until you bite into it.
