Romantic tea leaves are prominent for me in this beautiful fragrance. Sweet peachy/apricot notes flank wisps of wood/smoke/leather in an evocative harmony of springtime. I’m happy to own this and joyfully wear it today.
It lasts an 8 hour day for me, though the sillage is light. People several feet from you might notice it when you walk by, but your fragrance will not precede you in the room. I find it lasts longest lightly sprayed on my clothing.
I highly recommend it for people who do not want to wear too strong a scent. This would be an ideal scent for sachets and spa salts also.

1:20 PM – That’s a good open. Apricots and a woody musk. A fair amount of rose.
2:40 – meh. Light soapy floral.
A pretty enough perfume for all ages, work appropriate, feminine but not sexy. Would be headache inducing if over sprayed but I didn’t go particularly light on this (four sprays) and it was okay. Smells “nice” but not interesting. Within an hour it had disappeared from my skin entirely but was extremely present on my clothes and hair.
This is what I think of as a scent for lotion or shampoo. Also would be a nice soap.
The open had promise, and if it had developed with wood and leather or kept some fruity notes, I would have been more into it. Not bad, not for me.

You’ve decided to surprise your grandparents with a rare visit, and you let yourself in to their empty house after your hours-long drive. You’re sipping down a tall can of Arizona Green Tea from one of the rest stops on your trip, and you explore their home – finding a bouquet of fresh roses and an opened card from your grandfather to your grandmother – it’s their anniversary! You had no idea. You figure they’re probably out celebrating and having a nice dinner, so you decide to take a nap on their leather sofa until they get back. Osmanthus Interdite by Parfum d’Empire.

I have osmanthus trees in my garden so I’m very familiar with their scent. This perfume does not smell like osmanthus on my skin, the green tea note and the soapiness from the musk are dominant. In the perfumes that I know, Bunny buns solid perfume(kinmokusei) has the closest scent to real osmanthus. You can buy it from Rakuten Global if you are interested.

Osmanthus finally done right!
Over the years Ive come close to purchasing Osmanthe Yunnan, as it was the only osmanthus based scents out there that I had access to, but I always hesitated. OY takes the osmanthus in a sheer, watery direction that always felt “wrong” to me. Osmanthus is probably my favorite natural scent in the world, and I have deep associations of it and many beautiful autumns in Japan. The deeper, darker aspects of the flower always stood out for me. Osmanthus is sunny and bright without being sharp or citric, and also warm and autumnal but without any melancholy. Osmanthus Interdite is the first scent Ive tried that seems to “get” the flowers essential character.
OI us sunny, warm, suede-y and fruity all at once, on a bed of (thankfully not too astringent) tea, bolstered on all sides by its naturally occuring notes of apricot, suede, leather and a kind of purple grape candy note.
It has a almost vegetal quality at times. I suppose this is more for women but I dont think this creamy-apricot-suede is too feminine for men.
To me it reminds me of so many autumn days in Tokyo, with crisp air and blue sky, and fallen leaves and sweet osmanthus on the breeze.
I was prepared for a weaker scent but OI has surprising projection and longevity. Compared to the cruel joke that is OY’s potency, this has nuclear strength.
This is absolutely the osmanthus holy grail, and the only fair treatment of the flower out there.

It’s not really osmanthus rather than too much roses, blended with tea that made the sweetness maximally cloying. The fruits also used in here are quite cloying!
Eventually, this is not osmanthus, it’s sharp roses and cloying candy fruits.

غیبت
شکوفه ی سنجد؛از اون روایح خاص و کمیابه که عاشقشم.حسی جادویی داره که بسیار اغواگره.
شیرین و شادابه و البته سبز و کمی چوبی ولی با این حال خیلی هم فلوراله.همه ی این خصوصیات باعث میشن تا در ترکیب با اکوردهای مختلف؛روایح مختلف به دست بده!
این عطر که هیچ نشانی از گل سنجد درش نیست؛برای من در لحظاتی به زیبایی؛رایحه ی سنجد رو به تصویر می کشه!
شروع سبز و طوفانی عطر؛خیلی زود با روایح فلورال و میوه ای آروم میشه.نتهای میوه ای؛حسی شیرین و آبدار دارن و نتهای فلورال که یاس در اونها غالب هست در ترکیب با هم فضایی پرطراوت؛لطیف و شیرین ایجاد میکنن که رایحه ی سبز برگ چای؛اگرچه ضعیف هست؛اما طراوت و زیبایی این فضا رو دو چندان میکنه.
اینجاست که برام حس بوییدن گلهای سنجد زنده میشه.
بعد از یک باران شبانگاهی اردیبهشت؛در هوایی لطیف و تازه؛در میان درختان سنجد؛شاخه ها و برگها و خصوصا گلها رو بو می کشی و یه خون تازه تو رگات دویدن می گیره.
حسی گلی و کمی شیرین؛آمیخته با رایحه ی برگهای سبز و چوب نازک شاخه ها!
چنین حسی هست چیزی که عرض کردم اما دوام چندانی نداره و گل یاس با قدرت وارد کار میشه و رایحه ی آشناش رو به نمایش میذاره؛اگرچه نتهای میوه ای و دیگر آکوردها هرگز نمیذارن که فضا رو سنگین و بقول خودمون امامزاده ای کنه اما کاملا حس میشه و در این لحظه عطر خنک؛شیرین؛کمی گیاهی و البته یاسی هست.
تغییر نتها به آهستگی صورت می گیره و کم کم یاس به حاشیه میره و فضای کار شیرین و خنک با حسی گلی و کمی گیاهی میشه.
این لحظه ی عطر هم خیلی زیباست که رایحه ی گلی-سبز بیشتر از بقیه نتها حس میشه و شاید بخاطر هم سرایی اوسمانتوس و برگهای چای باشه(بنده اوسمانتوس رو نبوییدم).
این فضا خیلی زیباست و جالبه رایحه ی آشنای رز هم بخوبی در این فضا حس میشه.اما قدرتی نداره و در حاشیه هست ولی کیفیت بالای کار باعث میشه هیچ چیزی گنگ و پنهان نباشه.
این حال و هوا مثل یه صبح بهاری تو یه باغ پر از گله که عطر گلها و حتی رایحه ی گل بوته ها و برگاشون هم حس میشه!
این بوی خوش و نشاط بخش تا مدتها حس میشه و رفته رفته ضعیف و آروم میشه که در این لحظات یه حس خاکی و انیمالیک همراهیش میکنه اما قدرتی برای عرض اندام نداره.
نکته ای که تو این عطر جالب بود برام؛غیبت اون حس تند دوست داشتنی بود که در اکثر کارای این خانه حس کردم.یه حسی مثل تندی علوفه های خشک و ادویه ها.البته با توجه به فضای عطر و خنکایی که داره طبیعیه!
نکته ی دیگه ای که بیانش خالی از لطف نیست نت چای این کار هست.در واقع برگ سبز چای که هرگز خودنمایی نمیکنه و بی هیچ هیاهویی متواضعانه فضایی سبز و گیاهی خلق میکنه که اگرچه در حاشیه هست اما درصد بالایی از زیبایی عطر مدیون همین فضاست.
OSMANTHUS INTERDITE عطر بسیار زیباییه
بسیار آرامش بخشه و دوست داشتنی.باید تبریک گفته به جناب کورتیشیاتو که بدون استفاده از نتهای آشنای عطرهای خنک؛با تکیه بر گلها؛میوه و چای؛یک عطر تابستانی بسیار زیبا خلق کردن.
این عطر اگرچه برای همه آشناست؛ولی کنجکاوی همه رو بر می انگیزونه و وقتی بوش میکنن؛چشاشون بسته میشه و یاد خاطره هاشون می افتن و لبخند رضایت رو لبشون میشینه اما چشماشون که باز میشه تو فکرن که کجا بود؟کی بود؟و …

I summarize in 4 words “the best osmantus in the market”.
Fresh and green by the tea note, a life-giving tea that is sure to be accompanied by cheerful citrus and ozone shades by the helional, without preamble and without warning appears “the osmantus”, the absolute, a very real osmantus, gleaming, proud, It feels like an important floral note, it is like “a prince”, prince that is left to accompany the absolute of rose and a white floral note surely helional or liral that has nuances a fruity ozonicos and the other one of jasmine, the apricot qualifies, contributes a Creamy touch as if it were cream, this accompanies, dresses, stuffs and lets the proud osmantus note feel that it is felt by all this potentiated as if it had taken a high dose of proteins, would have gone to the gym and would have left more biceps of the Usual, this new, strong and empowered osmantus feels more handsome than the rest and will be there accompanied by all his entourage until the end.
The note of musk sweetens, shades the drying and fixed in skin passing unnoticed as it should be in a realistic modern floral.
The suede looks great, gives body, is the prince layer that carries the Osmantus and gives a more woody effect than animal, all incredibly well nuanced and balanced, very good work.
Excellent durability and stellar addition I find a rather unisex potential.
If it is Cortichiatto, I do not know, of course it has looked very good with this fragrance.

It starts off with a warm tea note and very soon a mild osmanthus accompanies it. I get neither apricot nor other fruity notes. Also no rose and jasmine to my nose. After the osmanthus appearance, the addition of musk and suede turns it into a cream-like smell that is not super pleasant but still not bad imo. The final dry down is a lovely osmanthus skin scent. I don’t call it neither floral fruity nor crisp. However it is soft ,mellow,comforting and shy.

This a delicious delicate fruity floral. Osmanthus is such a wonderful floral/fruity note yet so fleeting. The tea, apricot and jasmine do their best to bolster this osmanthus fragrance. Very well blended and just sweet enough. I tend to love all fragrances with tea in and this is no exception. Perfect to wear on a summers day wearing casual clothing. Lovely

i hate jasmine, but if i would wear perfume with a jasmine smell this is the one. what a lovely relaxing composition.

no, I can not sense ant similarity between this and osmanthus Yunnan! Both are beautiful though.

ban4ke – 2022-06-07:

Is there any similarity to osmanthe yunnan? The notes and descriptions suggest so. I am looking for a dupe due to poor performance of OY and by that I mean I can’t even smell myself.

vshaman – 2022-06-07:

This scent opens with a cloud of fruity florals, sultry osmanthus and a hint of peach, combined with strong tea notes. The scent then turns more fruity and the jasmine appears. There is a hint of leather but it is not very strong on me, and a bit of rose. The rose is never really strong. Then the osmanthus returns together with a briny almost ozonic musk, creating a very sexy drydown of white florals with a bite. The drydown is mostly briny musk and a hint of osmanthus and a bit of indoles.
Sillage is moderate, longevity is moderate.
The top notes are awesome, the tea and osmanthus are a great mix. The peach adds just a little bit of sweetness on top. Gorgeous. The drydown is great too, I love this type of musk that is very interdit indeed. I wish the osmanthus would stay around longer, it lasted about 4 hours on me. The leather and rose were never strong on me.
What a great scent, very sexy. I would really like to own a full bottle one day.

In it’s pure, natural form, osmanthus absolute projects nuances of apricot, leather, tea and hay. So this little powerhouse flower is a full bodied perfume in its own right. Osmanthus Interdite does well to accent this multi-dimensional flower by gently amplifying its natural character.
The leather notes in this fragrance are subtle and plush like suede. The apricot is deep, fresh and subtle and never overpowering. It is enough though to classify this as a fruity floral perfume. The tea is detectable in trace amounts and its delicate tannin complements the osmanthus well. The musk provides a clean, almost soap-like dimension which makes this bright compared to Keiko Mecheri’s Osmanthus which is a more heady, liquorous interpretation, and equally lovely.
Osmanthus Interdite culminates into a joyously beautiful scent and evocative of the natural purity of the flower. Full and delightfully elegant, showcasing the multi-faceted nature of this little blossom.

I tend to take my time to appreciate a fragrance and this was no exception. I had tested Osmanthus Interdite in early spring and apart from the tea and apricot, I could not smell much else, plus I could not detect it after 3 hours. Then I tested it in the summer and the rest, as they say, is history.
On my skin, I first smell the tea and the apricot and what I suppose is the osmanthus, but then, the buttery suede comes out, accompanied with a bit of musk. A light, warm, bright suede, not at all heavy or suffocating in the heat. It lasts and lasts on me, around 8 hours. Sillage is discreet, someone has to get close to me to smell it. It is perfect for daytime wear and on me, much better in warm weather.
Osmanthus Interdite is so much more than the sum of its parts. This may well be my next signature scent…only time will tell. But it’s definitely on my top 3.
P.S.I have never smelt the flower osmanthus so I do not know how this compares to it.

Very light, nice for summer days at the beach, one of many floral scents. Certainly not original.

dardre – 2022-06-07:

I consider myself pretty lucky with how it turns out on my skin, given the reviews here. I mainly get strong tea with refreshing fruity-floral notes on top. On my skin, the leather note is delicate and musk barely there. Altogether, it makes a nice everyday scent for the office during spring & summer.
Even though Osmanthus Interdite and Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline (edt) are not exactly similar except for the tea, they do share the vibe. Spacious, feminine, both warm & fresh.
Longevity is average, I have to reapply halfway through the day.

sashagw – 2022-06-07:

I picked up a sample of this because I was trying to find out what osmanthus smelled like. I still can’t tell, comparing it to the other sample I got (Keiko Mecheri), because these two fragrances to me appear to have nothing in common (except for my dislike of them).
All I get from this is a very pungent tea-smell, that eventually fades into leather and musk and something reminiscent of wet particle board.
UPDATE: I have tried this again. The first half hour is wonderful, intoxicating, fresh tea, osmanthus and apricot, and how I wish it would stay like this. After that, it goes into that terrible particle-board area that is kind of puzzling.

neo12rus – 2022-06-07:

I’ve been wearing this on and off for a few weeks now, and wish I loved it, but don’t. It all sounds divine – apricot, osmanthus, tea, suede! Unfortunately, the tea note just isn’t good enough, maybe the musk is at fault here?

Bride – 2022-06-07:

This is one of those fragrances where I got a sample and sprayed it on and immediately went online and bought it. I mean, right then. That is how much I liked it. I had no idea what I was smelling that I loved so much (and still am not quite sure) but it must be the osmanthus.
This is a fragrance unlike any other I have ever smelled. It is green and watery and I get no fruit whatsoever but I still do not think “floral” (although I realize it is floral). I get some musk in the dry down and maybe a little tea at some point. I think I am smelling a tiny touch of mint. But I get a heavy dose of whatever that is I am smelling the most….again, must be osmanthus. I don’t know how to describe it, all I know is that I like it.
This smells way more feminine to me than masculine but I noticed some people said it was unisex. It definitely smells like it was meant for a woman to me.
I don’t feel like it has much projection (although it is hard to smell myself from a few feet away) but it seems to stay pretty close. Which is how I like my fragrances. I don’t want to be the person clouding up a room, no matter how good my cloud smells.
I find this to be a heavenly fragrance…feminine and fresh but that little bit of different.

SteellDrongo – 2022-06-07:

So fresh and calming scent. I can smell a lot of tea and on my skin a lot of musk as well. In the first minute is simply fresh osmanthus with som tea… so wonderful! And after un houer i can smell the suede and the fruits. Not too long lasting, but very nice!

dvd_475 – 2022-06-07:

Even though this is marked here as a floral fruity I certainly find this to be a bit more than that. From the start the osmanthus and an extremely dark tea note plays around with suede making this a unisex perfume, it has a smoky and “dark sensual” quality to it. Fortunately I do not get any fruity notes, on my skin it’s just pure combo of the three notes I can feel the most. It basically stays like that all the way just making suede a bit stronger when the time passes by.
Clearly not a floral fruity on my skin. It is aromatic and spicy and kinda unique. Suitable for both sexes, with a moderate silage and a good longevity.

kloyd – 2022-06-07:

I really enjoyed the osmanthus and tea notes in the first 45 minutes or so. But sadly they faded almost completely on my skin, leaving a persistent suede-plus-tutti-fruity dry down, very like the chocolate-tutti-fruity dry-down of Equistrius, another perfume from Parfum d’Empire (which produces two fragrances I love: Ambre Russe and Eau Suave). What a pity that the delightful beginnings of Osmanthus Interdite and Equistrius (iris in the case of Equistrius) fade away so soon!

qas376elipseskism – 2022-06-07:

I don’t smell leather here. It is a tea-floral-fruity fragrance on me, definitely unisex. Light but with a ‘substance’, refreshing and warm at the same time, it has a good staying power on me.
One of my favourites for spring-summer. Very nice, and one of the best “tea” fragrances to me.

Millenium – 2022-06-07:

You know how sometimes the smell of white flowers can be so thick it starts to come across as mildly… fecal? I’m not entirely sure this is the case here, it might just be the combination of leather and jasmine, but I definitely detect some of that. And it doesn’t bother me. I even don’t mind the jasmine itself, even though it often makes me nauseous when used in a perfume. This is just a dirty, sweaty leather, in a good way.

jocker_v – 2022-06-07:

On my skin, Parfum d’Empire OSMANTHUS INTERDITE is a leather perfume from start to finish. The opening is very leathery, with only a touch of florality and fruitiness coming through. Rose and green tea are the strongest notes after leather, but the leather really dominates the composition. Is there also a detectable osmanthus note here? Very unclear to me.
In the middle stage, the fruit smells a bit sour to me, and I don’t like the way that it mingles with the leather. By the drydown, however, OSMANTHUS INTERDITE has finally become a perfume that I can claim to like: a smooth, leathery floral with a soft texture. Unfortunately, the longevity is not that great.
Also unfortunate is that I was not helped in the least by this composition in my quest to discover the essence of osmanthus, which appears to have been forbidden here by the leather! I’ll continue my search…

Ryabov.78 – 2022-06-07:

Very nice fruit tea with rose, it starts powerfully, I adore the union of rose and leather in this scent. The only sad thing that I can’t feel it very very shortly after application ;o(
Usually when I see osmanthus in the name, or as a theme I think of a fresh fruity floral composition. It’s fruity and floral, but not as fresh as I thought.

tester – 2022-06-07:

5 out of 5

The musky florals and tea note are lovely.
Unfortunately the leather note is dominant on my skin 🙁
The leather does dissipate well into the drydown, but I can’t stand it for that long.
Definitely glad I received a sample instead of buying this unsniffed.

sashok4545 – 2022-06-07:

Lovely floral tea, a touch of fruit, a base of musk. This is lovely, light and elegant without in any way being traditionally perfume-y.
