Description

“Formosa, a name once given to the island of Taiwan. It is an old Portuguese word which means “beautiful”. Indeed, Taiwan is a beautiful island that is also known as the Island of Treasures. With this unique fragrance, we explore various “treasures” that Taiwan is famous for. Taiwan is well-known for its variety of fruit produce. Plum blossom, being the national flower of Taiwan, is one of the elements incorporated in this fragrance. Another key element is the Taiwanese lupine flower. Overall, Eau De Formosa is a fragrance that pays
homage to classical chypres while introducing various Taiwanese elements and being modern at the same time.

The opening of this fragrance features notes of various fruits, namely mandarin orange, strawberry, pineapple, and dried hawthorn fruit. These are some of the fruits that Taiwan is famous for. Besides, the fragrance also showcases a floral heart with notes of plum blossom , oriental rose bouquet, and Taiwanese lupine flower. Notes of osmathus-infused oolong tea and fresh ginger add an exotic touch to the heart notes. In the later stage, darker notes of amber, precious woods and oakmoss gradually emerge from the brighter heart, draping onto a bed of musk, civet and castoreum. The base notes provide a twist to the development of this fragrance, from bright to dark.” – a note from the brand.
