Osmanthus Fragrans by Acqua di Stresa

*****
Year: 2012

Notes: osmanthus, peach blossom, peppermint, white tea, cedar, white musk
Osmanthus Fragrans commences with a jammy floral sweetness that's extremely persuasive, before promptly fading to reveal a rather verdant tea accord. The transition from fruity sweet to fresh is admirable but, like most of the offerings from this house, longevity is a deeply concerning issue.

With virtually no projection, it comes across more as an Eau de Toilette than an Eau de Parfum. The quality is there but it lacks sufficient substance.
