Osmanthus Absolute

Osmanthus fragrans

Oleaceae family.

Absolute of Thai origin

It's gorgeous! Unbelievable! The idea that these tiny little delectable bursts of flower could join together in such overwhelming ambrosia.....it just boggles the mind. FYI-osmanthus is related to both jasmine and lilac!

This is also known as Sweet Olive and this oil is delicious, with apricot and pear juiciness! A must for any perfumer. Poor Mr. Arctander has nothing to say about this aromatic miracle as he had no experience with it. What does osmanthus "do?" No idea! It doesn't have to do anything! It's a big bursting floral with velvety tones of apricot and peach and green leaves of love! Really, you want an individual, assertive, exceptional absolute to play with? Osmanthus. Enough said.

Blends well with bergamot, cardamom, jasmine sambac, jasmine grandiflorum, mandarin
