Osmanthus is rarely used in perfumery due to its rarity, which is why we have been deprived of its olfactory beauty until now, because its use was limited to tiny amounts. This unique flower comes from China, but can be found in the gardens of the French Riviera. The Osmanthus tree is very sensitive to cold and its scattered seeds germinate only after two years of maturation. The stronger the scent of the Osmanthus species, the more sensitive and fragile it is. The Osmanthus tree blooms in autumn and its beautiful scent floats around, filling the hearts of the Chinese with subtle nostalgia. The poetic fame and sophistication of Osmanthus is not appreciated only by the legend of the giant Wu Chang, who, driven by jealousy, repeatedly threatened to eradicate all trees that spread this floral, nostalgic scent. "Jean Claude Ellena designed this fragrance to preserve the memory of the feeling that shook him during his visit to the Forbidden City. The poetics of this unconventional and extraordinary moment were the dominant motif in the creation of the composition, to fully capture the subtlety of such a distant place. This exquisite fragrance develops freshly, then reveals a symphony of green and sweet notes reminiscent of apples and apricots.
