Osmanthus Interdite Eau de Parfum

In ancient Chinese philosophy, perfumes were an expression of the continuity of all life forms. Because they transformed matter into energy, they were mediators between heaven and earth, the visible and the invisible.

Osmanthus Interdite opens with the quintessentially Chinese aroma of green tea, which harmonizes perfectly with the surprising apricot and suede note of osmanthus, since the flower is traditionally used to flavor tea, as is jasmine sambac, a greener, fresher variety of jasmine. Rose oil adds dramatic richness, wrapped in delicate white musk for a velvety, sensuous effect.

Why we're addicted: With this creation, fragrance becomes flavor, surrounded by floral light and crossing over from one sense to another to turn skin into a forbidden fruit.
