Autumn in Guangxi

Autumn in Guangxi is inspired by Southern China in harvest season, when jasmine and osmanthus fill the air and the warmth of summer begins to soften.

The opening is floral yet grounded. Philippines oud oil sets an immediate depth, smooth and gently resinous, carrying jasmine and frangipani as they bloom in warm air. A quiet lift of grapefruit cuts through the richness, adding clarity and light without sharpness.

As the fragrance settles, the heart reveals its character. Osmanthus emerges with its familiar apricot-leather nuance, joined by rare Kinam from Southern China, lending an incense-like richness that feels both historic and intimate. Wild Thai oud adds structure, while red champaca introduces a creamy, golden warmth, binding the florals to the woods.

In the dry-down, the composition becomes softer and more contemplative. Iris smooths the edges, lending a powdered restraint, while white ambergris and musk bring a subtle, skin-like warmth. The base deepens slowly with labdanum, supported by Laos and Borneo oud oils, leaving a lingering impression of resin, earth, and fading blossoms.
