Osmanthe Yunnan

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Hermes Osmanthe Yunnan

Osmanthe Yunnan is a delicate osmanthus and tea scent, and our version keeps that feel: a soft apricot osmanthus opening, a tea heart, and a soft leathery base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Hermes built Osmanthe Yunnan around the osmanthus flower, with its apricot and leather facets, pairing it with a smoky Yunnan tea for a refined, elegant character.

Our interpretation follows that idea. We keep the osmanthus and freesia soft up top, let apricot and tea carry the middle, and finish on a soft leather and woody base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is an exclusive Hermessence release sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a delicate, refined, fruity floral tea scent and wants a niche style fragrance without the niche price.
