Diaphanous floral
Huge floral opening, a veritable honeysuckle explosion. The ylang-ylang begins to emerge, eventually taking the lead, balanced with a counterpoint of bitter, grassy, almost savoury green tea to stop things from becoming too custardy and thick. I don't personally find the osmanthus, something I associate with a more leathery / fruity smell, which this does not have on my skin. Maybe a little later on in the base, where it manifests as a slight sharpness, but more as a bolster than a definite note. Minimally sweet. All diaphanous, airy, and beautiful, grounded by the green tea.
