Sandalwood gives the fragrance a warmer base, geranium reinforces its floral character and mint adds a small fresh contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf osmanthus itself is unfamiliar, its natural fragrance is often compared with a sweet floral scent that has a fruity, apricot-like side. Here, the surrounding notes keep that sweetness from becoming dense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin Koto no Kou, Osmanthus is sweeter than Plum Blossom or Lotus but considerably lighter than the sandalwood, amber and oakmoss of Ancient Capital.
