Osmanthus 颐和金桂

Capturing the essence of osmanthus in full bloom, this fragrance opens with bright, uplifting notes—sweet, apricot-like, and gently honeyed. The soft floral character blends with a light fruity undertone, evoking a sense of warmth and lightness of a sun-dappled afternoon, where summer gently yields to autumn’s embrace. The subtle green and citrus notes enhances the airy, crisp feel, refreshing like a breeze that stirs the last golden hours of the day. Delicate yet harmonious, this scent mirrors the serenity of warm days, making it the perfect companion for the seasons of transition.

Shanghai, 2023. A flower, a peach's core. Memories of a storied friend, of stories yet to be told. Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, today's a gift, which is why we call it the present. Surrounded by such pleasant company, drinking Bellinis in suede couches, a lit cigarette is dying. A peach's core, a gift.

This has now become one of my favorite fragrances. Despite me being a male I find this smell very much unisex and easily pull it off. It's a bright peachy tea scent that has solid longevity. The smell was so pleasant to me that I regretted buying the 30ml and went and got the 100ml. Would recommend.

Gorgeous fruity-floral scent but unfortunately, it is a letdown because of its longevity and projection. Lingers as a skin scent after 2-3 hours. Not worth paying SGD100 for 30ml when there are more reasonably priced similar scent profiles in the market.

Lately, ive been obsessed with any peach scented perfume. The tea here is not overpowering. I tried spraying this on my dri fit cloth while playing sports. Surprisingly, after 3 hrs and all the sweats, I can still smell it on my cloth.😍

Light, transparent osmanthus / peach / jasmine type of scent, nothing heavy there at all, just the airiness, as if I had travelled into an autumn Chinese garden with golden osmanthus blossoms.

so fresh and fruity, just an overall lovely and light fragrance. wish i was in china drinking osmanthus tea and taking a big bite out of a fresh ripe peach..yeah i need that...

this is amazing when paired with glossier you fleur

sweet osmanthus perfume, fresh, light and pleasant. sometimes it pulls a bit... nail polish-y and screechy especially in cold weather, would tbh only wear this in warm humid places! please PLEASE layer this with phlur beach skin you will not regret it ^^ also, this doesn't last like at all, for the price i don't think i would repurchase..but its unique compared to western perfumes so ill give it that

Fragrantica notes are slightly wrong again with this brand. According to their online store: Top notes - bigarabe, peach, green Middle notes - osmanthus, rose, jasmine, violet Base notes - amber, white musk Smells very floral, citrus and peachy. Osmanthus note here is very accurate which isn’t a surprise since this is made from a Chinese house. Very suitable for spring and summer

I surprisingly like Triple Tea far better than this. That's not to say this is bad, but not at all what I was expecting. It reminds me a lot of a citrusy cocktail on a late spring afternoon; floral, fun but maybe a bit too strong for me. Wouldn't call it a 'me' scent.

To me it has a lactonic and citrus smell together. After a while a peach note will also rise. An amazing way to portray this osmantus flower.

Beautiful light and airy, peach and floral profile reminiscent of an afternoon stroll through gardens. Leans quite feminine.

First Day Wear It Gotten Compliments..~ Definitely Worth Blind Buy ... Will Be Trying Triple Tea Decants !

while i love osmanthus in desserts, i think wearing it as a scent doesn't really work for me even though i love the smell too. i found this somewhat cloying after just half an hour, even though at first i thought it was quite a nice, summery scent. this may not have been helped by the humid shanghai summer, which made it feel as though i was in some sort of sauna where this perfume was 70% of the steam in the room. i think i'd like this on other people very much, but just not for me.

I was able to get my hand on samples of five different To Summer fragrances. I had no idea what any of them were going to smell like, so I was going in blind. Osmanthus smells very nice, but it is too feminine for me. It's soft, floral, and fruity. If I were a female, this could easily be a signature scent. It's very pleasant and wearable in any situation. This actually smells very similar to Byredo's Mojave Ghost Absolu.

It smells sweeter than I expected according to reviews online. Kinda like opening a bag of citrus or orange candy. I can't really smell the tea notes.

It is ok, I found it floral and green note heavy for me, I wanted more amber and tea.

It's not worth the hype. This fragrance is flat and lacks depth. In the beginning, it has a very soapy citrus scent. Afterwards, it transforms into a loud osmanthus smell. I don't detect any tea in it.

I’ve had a recent osmanthus fixation and this interpretation of osmanthus is quite lovely. Upon first smell, I get straight up fancy shampoo but the kind you get at a fancy hotel somewhere in a highly populated-well known city in Asia. Out of all the osmanthus fragrances I’ve smelled, this is the first I’ve smelled that has an apricot-like profile of osmanthus. I’ve never actually had the experience of smelling osmanthus, but I imagine it would smell exactly like this fragrance. There is a greeness to the fragrance that creates a crispness like biting into a ripe, crunchy, green apple. It’s a refreshing, slightly fruity take on osmanthus -green, slightly fruity-apricot-y and very much tea forward.

Osmanthus captures the mood of the autumn season. It is inspired by the homesickness of those from southern China who smell the osmanthus in Beijing's Summer Palace during fall. This scent transforms the fragrance of osmanthus into a poetic expression of autumn, made with pure golden osmanthus oil that envelops you like a gentle rain. Osmanthus lives up to its name, unfolding as a sweet, peachy osmanthus with smooth floral nuances and a subtle musky base. Its subtle elegance makes it suitable for both everyday wear and more formal occasions. This fragrance truly shines in autumn and spring's transitional weather, yet its simple, natural scent profile makes it suitable for any time of year.

tiktok is feral for this, so i sniffed many times in store. no revelation was forthcoming. it's a very sweet osmanthus scent but overly sweet scents are not for me. there is no tea in this that i can smell. a decent osmanthus offering, and i can see how it would appeal to the right audience. but i think osmanthus oolong by beast (another renowned chinese brand) is better.

oh so fresh and calming! it reminds me of fresh crisp white peaches and green oranges. of course the namesake osmanthus is there with a few leaves of tea. its beauty is in its simplicity. straightforward and almost realistic. i just know this will be one of my staple from the brand

The mention of "oily notes" here on Fragrantica is likely a misinterpretation. The original To Summer product description refers to the use of natural oils in the perfume, rather than a distinct "oily" fragrance note.

The first time I sprayed, I was immediately reminded of Zora from Mykonos!

I’ve got one description for ya: iced lemon peach tea
