The votes on this feel accurate — you squarely get an even amount of all 3: fruity osmanthus, soft star anise, and tea.
The combination of all three remind me of traditional Chinese herb and tea shops where you can purchase ginseng and tea by the pound from giant jars. If you're in LA, think Wing Hop Fung. With that said, I think it's a soft and pretty scent. Anise isn't normally a note I gravitate towards (too sharp and cutting), but it's very fluffy and gauzy here and adds something a bit special. I have to agree though that the longevity & performance is a bit lacking.
