Notes

Osmanthus in Perfume: Apricot Fruit and Soft Leather

Discover osmanthus, its apricot-like and leathery facets, the role of its absolute, and how floral, tea and woody pairings change it.

1

Osmanthus is a fragrant flowering plant associated with apricot-like floral notes.

2

Its perfume profile can combine fruit, tea-like dryness and soft leather.

3

Osmanthus absolute is an extracted perfumery material rather than a ready-to-wear perfume.

4

A fruity impression does not require a sugary gourmand base.

Is osmanthus the same as orange blossom?

No. They are different plants with different aromatic profiles. Flower colour or a warm floral impression does not make the notes interchangeable.

Can osmanthus perfume be worn by anyone?

Fragrance preferences are individual. Fruit, flowers and leather are not restricted by gender, so choose by smell and comfort.
