An airy osmanthus wrapped in cool spice and tea, Osmanthe Kodoshan opens with a gentle sparkle of star anise and Sichuan pepper that feels like mist lifting off a mountainside, then reveals a plush apricot-petal osmanthus over black tea before drifting into a soft, meditative base where patchouli, labdanum, and amber give warmth without heaviness. The effect is luminous, modern, and quietly addictive for everyday elegance in any season.

Story and Positioning
Conceived around the sensation of discovering osmanthus in mountain fog, this composition contrasts a leather-tinged osmanthus with cool tea and spices for a refined chypre-leaning profile. It sits comfortably in the elegant osmanthus-tea space championed by icons like Hermès Hermessence Osmanthe Yunnan and Les Indémodables Cuir de Chine, while feeling more gauzy and transparent for effortless daytime wear and easy layering. Within Maison Crivelli’s collection, it exemplifies the house’s sensory adventure brief of unexpected contrasts and tactile textures.
Bottle and Design
Presented in a clear, weighty glass flacon with a crisp white label, the fragrance is crowned by an unpolished zamac cap stamped with the Maison monogram, giving each piece a subtly unique finish. The brand highlights thoughtful presentation with plastic-free boxes and hand assembly in France, while glass is produced in France and Spain for a modern yet artisanal feel on the vanity.
