Osmanthus Absolute

Adam Michael has this to say “This is a highly seductive floral absolute, the initial top note of osmanthus absolute is somewhat fruity and sweet comparable maybe to eating yellow Mirabelle plums late in the summer. However it is the heart note that makes this utterly spectacular as I detect an infusion of sweet juicy apricots, fresh cream and a thick helping of Greek honey. This absolute is truly beautiful, incredibly tenacious and the jewel in the floral absolute crown. Used in high class floral perfumes and bases, blends particularly well with cassie, blue lotus, mimosa, orange blossom, peach CO2. Osmanthus should also be considered as an impact floral-fruit note.”

This absolute is of Chinese origin and is produced by solvent extraction of the fragrant flowers. The colour is golden yellow and it takes approximately 3000 kilos of flowers to produce just one kilo of this osmanthus absolute. We now also offer osmanthus concrete.
