About

Formosa opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and citron, brightened by a hint of juicy blackcurrant and the subtle spice of cardamom. As it settles, the heart unveils a serene fusion of delicate osmanthus and fresh green tea, lending an elegant, almost misty floral quality. The journey concludes on a soft, woody base of cedar and sandalwood, underscored by a lingering tea note and a whisper of clean musk. It's a scent that conjures images of lush landscapes.
