The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Osmanthus Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma is a floral and fruity composition that captures the essence of Italian elegance. The fragrance opens with bright notes of neroli and green mandarin, providing a fresh and zesty beginning. This gives way to a heart of peony and osmanthus, creating a delicate balance between floral sweetness and subtle spiciness. The base notes of ambrette (musk mallow), pink pepper, and patchouli add warmth and depth, grounding the scent in a musky embrace.

How to wear it

Apply Osmanthus Eau de Parfum in light sprays — it blooms gradually on the skin. The fresh citrus notes are most prominent initially but will settle into a warm musky base over time. It's best for daytime wear, as the floral and fruity notes shine brightest during the early hours.

François Demachy

Dior's guardian of dreams

François Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.

“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
