Formosa opens with a tart flash of citron and bergamot, paired with a subtle bite of black currant and aromatic cardamom. Within minutes, the sharp citrus softens into a green tea leaf core sweetened by apricot-tinged osmanthus flower and clean freesia. The scent settles into a dry woody foundation of cedar and sandalwood, buffered by light musk. The fragrance feels crisp rather than sugary, balancing bitter leaf dryness against soft floral nectar. Ormonde Jayne built this around a distinct green tea profile that sits close to the skin during warm spring mornings. It avoids heavy amber or synthetic sweetness, leaning instead into sheer woods and breezy citrus. The dry down retains a trace of black currant rind alongside polished cedar. It works best for enthusiasts who prefer quiet, natural botanical profiles over dense gourmand compositions. Show less
