Long awaited
This is by far my most anticipated perfume acquisition of 2021. Partially because I grew more and more intrigued by the osmanthus accord in perfumes, but most of all because it took the (grey market) retailer a staggering three months before shipping it. I had to send numerous emails, reminders, questions, requests. All were replied with kind manners, but again and again promises regarding delivery date were broken. In fact, I already prepared a case file to revert my payment. But when I finally received the parcel today, all frustration was forgotten.
TDC's Osmanthus is a crisp floral, carried by a light-brown musk. It starts off with a bright citrus, that feels sharp but not exactly tart. More orange than yellow, I suppose. Soon after that the scent turns floral and the different facets of the osmanthus accord appear: buttery, fruity and even vaguely leatherish at times. It has a typical glassy vibrance during its relatively short lifespan.
Overall a nice scent that has a clear TDC signature: bright, clean and subtle. As easy-going, uncomplicated as an osmanthus accord can get. Although this perfume seems to be made for spring, I'm happy to wear it in december. Given all the frustration it caused earlier, I now consider it an early Christmas gift.
