Primary mood: Delicate. Watery. Soft. Centered around the Osmanthus flower.
Lunar Sonata opens with a fresh green mandarin, which is used to boost the osmanthus’ natural green facet.
Staying true to one of osmanthus’ most popular culinary use as a tea infusion (桂花茶), a fruity green tea accord was created for the mid notes.
The perfume rests on a base of leather, vanilla bean and ambrette seed.
