A surround sound symphony of uplifting tea and apricotty osmanthus. Frangipani and orange blossom smile in the opening, while oolong tea swirls to the surface in this subtle brew. Osmanthus, the flower that bridges the gap between apricot and tea, joins forces with guaiac wood for a delightfully smooth and happy smellscape.
Perfumer: Kong Dexing
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon with a pot of oolong between two people: the tea’s savory edge keeps the apricot-like flowers from feeling sugary. Soft florals and smooth wood suit a conversational presence—warm and attentive, without turning the room into a floral display.
How to wear
Mild spring days and cool early autumn suit the balance of green tea, soft flowers and smooth wood. Start with one or two sprays on skin to keep the composition close and understated; in warmer weather, apply lightly so the apricot-like sweetness does not outweigh the tea.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to tea fragrances with floral warmth rather than overt sweetness. It will appeal to lovers of apricot-like osmanthus, savory green nuances and smooth woods who prefer a restrained composition to a dense gourmand or opulent floral.

NuWilds’s story
NuWilds is a Shanghai fragrance house whose “Wild & Wander” philosophy connects nature and Eastern culture with everyday sensory memories. Familiar plants, foods and places become starting points for unexpected scent associations, with fragranced goods handcrafted in Shanghai.
Osmanthus & Oolong’s concept
The fragrance imagines a cool autumn evening beneath flowering osmanthus trees, watching the moon while preparing oolong tea from Fujian. Apricot-like floral sweetness meets roasted tea and restrained guaiac wood, translating that quiet ritual into a wearable composition.
Extra info
The Chinese name, 桂花乌龙, pairs osmanthus with oolong tea. NuWilds used the same name for an earlier reed diffuser before the perfume appeared; the shared name does not establish that the two products have identical formulas.
