A fragrance inspired by “a walk through the Forbidden City” and tea from Yunnan province. It is a delicate, transparent and airy perfume. The composition centres on the note of osmanthus with its natural fruity, apricot shade. This fruity-floral accord is surrounded by a smoky, delicate accord of Yunnan tea. The fragrance is light and elegant — a minimalist, melancholic ode to the oriental floral tradition.

About the fragrance
Hermessence Osmanthe Yunnan is inspired by the memory of one place: the Forbidden City in Beijing, where osmanthus bushes bloom. “I remember being enchanted by an exquisite scent that led me, as if along a trail, to the Imperial Palace.” Jean-Claude Ellena, perfumer.
Fruity and delicious, Osmanthe Yunnan presents a seductive play between velvety tea and the apricot scents of osmanthus. Hermessence suits both men and women.
