Sadly, L’Erbolario has discontinued this delightful fragrance. Would anyone be able to tell me of a similar scent. I have been to Aedes and Ooswald perfumers to no avail! Help!

Uno dei migliori profumi che io abbia mai annusato!
Lo definirei unisex, è molto particolare, non affatto scontato.
é uno speziato fresco, che si può utilizzare sia in estate che in inverno. Non riesco proprio a capire perché l’erbolario non lo produca più!! è diventato introvabile! 🙁

China, oh China! What a pleasant surprise!
This exotic perfume is very spicy and on the heavier side. It’s perfect for autumn/winter use, for those cold days and dark nights.
I didn’t detect caraway in it – definitely cloves though, and maybe nutmeg too. In fact, at some point it smelled like a real SPICE CAKE on my skin, and not in a bad way!
Good longevity (lasts for hours), good price and a charming bottle.
I definitely recommend this perfume for anyone who likes spicy/exotic smells! It’s also a natural perfume, so it’s not overwhelming at all.

Altough China is referred to the tree bark of cinchona that l’erbolario use into the bath line, Jean Harlow in Shanghai in the 30s, or better Greta Garbo in Mata Hari could wear this not so impressing diva but very shalimar edc style fragrance.
Simple, basical, bit bitter.
Very Oriental/oriental-shop way.
But westernized and unconventional.
Not so similar to shalimar edc. I mentioned to indicate a kind of oriental unsweet perfume.
I could swear there was patchouly inside.
Very nice fragrance.
Just I wolud love it had more sillage.

l’erbolario has very affordable prices for some great, genuine perfumes.
This one is one of my favorite from l’erbolario. Exotic, spicy. Give it a try.

China starts surprisingly spicy, with the intense smell of a dry black and purest licorice, to change direction into what caraway seeds should be. To my nose what takes place is a strong woody spicy revelation of pure clove. Yes it is, I checked it: the latin name is “Eugenia caryophyllata” and I can’t go wrong, as I have it in my cupboard. I keep sniffing the strip I am left with, as I have never met anything like this before, it seems to be a clove based drydown. Lovers of clove, give it a go and try it on skin.

I tested yesterday in a shop… I like it, it’s so spiced, sparkling…

Like that I also think I’m pleasantly low cost and quality and ‘more’ that soddisfacente.Molto genuine and sincere as nature itself.
Italian:
Anch’io penso cosi.I costi sono piacevolmente bassi e la qualita e’ piu’ che soddisfacente.Molto genuino e sincero come la natura stessa.

China reminds me of M7 (that is an old favourite of mine) but costs so much less!!! A strong, original, bitter and woody fragrance.
