Osmanthe Kodoshan

Osmanthe Kodoshan by Maison Crivelli is a refined, unisex fragrance centered around a naturalistic osmanthus note, seamlessly blended with soft spicy, fruity, and green accords. The opening reveals a tart, astringent profile with black tea, star anise, and sichuan pepper, creating a distinctively medicinal or soapy sensation for some, though others appreciate the freshness and aromatic clarity. The core of the scent is a dry, earthy osmanthus with an apricot-like juiciness that evolves into a harmonious balance of patchouli, amber, labdanum, and leathered tobacco. The scent remains close to the skin with moderate sillage, giving it a private, intimate presence that feels like a quiet moment in a quiet place—well suited for personal wear, yoga, or relaxed settings. The progression is subtle and meditative, morphing into a noble, dry wood-and-leather base that lingers without intensity, giving the impression of an elegant, quiet unveiling rather than a bold statement.
