About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Hermessence Osmanthe Yunnan, launched in 2005, is a unisex floral fruity fragrance from Hermès. The composition opens with tea and orange, a bright, slightly bitter citrus-tea accord. The heart unfolds with osmanthus and freesia, osmanthus lending its distinctive apricot-like floralcy, while freesia adds a clean, slightly peppery freshness. The base of apricot and leather grounds the scent with a soft, suede-like warmth and a jammy fruit nuance.

Collectors who appreciate translucent, skin-close fragrances will find this appealing. The dominant floral and fruity accords (100% and 97% respectively) are balanced by leather (66%), green (64%), citrus (60%), and lactonic (58%) facets, creating a nuanced, evolving profile. It suits those who prefer understated elegance over projection, ideal for spring and summer days or intimate settings. The tea and osmanthus pairing gives it a meditative, almost contemplative quality, while the apricot-leather base adds a subtle sensuality. This is a scent for someone who values quiet sophistication and the interplay of soft florals with a gentle leather undertone.
