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.

It’s really incredible. So tough, deep, with a true floral flavor. It is completely different from the other Osmanthus, which have different consistency and smell. It’s really an experience for me to work with. It is beautiful with other flowers, citrus and balsamic oils. Favourite!

There is a season in the south of China，the city is fragrant with osmanthus flowers.this means good luck and happiness，people want to keep them.We can also make many different snacks with osmanthus. The original essence of Osmanthus makes me feel the taste of my hometown from the smell.

Many of the most intense, fresh and richest scents that nature can offer us come from flowers of white flower – so does from Osmanthus flowers that are so beautiful as well – and we can find a very symbolic meaning of number 4 looking at those “waxy” petals.
It smells so sweet, and so fresh at the same time. I would combine it with Yuzu or even lemon as well as with black or green sacra.
And again – thank you Adam, thank you Eleonora for letting us have such a treasure 🙂

I love the richness of osmanthus absolute and this is a fine specimin, it’s both astringent bitter and sharp and sweet fruity and crisp. Sophistication is its essence for me, the tanned leather tea and sparkling Apricot champagne qualities of this treasure make it invaluable for creating chic, elegant, classic and also fairly unusual fragrances. Not to be missed!

Very fruity and rich.

I love Osmanthus precisely because of the fruity-animalic interplay. Sometimes the leather aspect is a bit owerwhelming, but not in this case. It’s just perfect and addictive. At times there is just juicy sweet carefree apricots i can sense and at other just goats that somehow got to play with wax. Most of the time it’s just both perfectly matched together, seasoned with some sparkling – as another reviewer mentioned.

Would highly recommend to anyone. One of the best examples I have encountered.

I literally CAN’T STOP wearing this. Can’t stop won’t stop 😉 I made a very basic blend with frankincense and I don’t want to wear anything else right now. Which reminds me, I also need to buy the whole of Hermitage’s frankincense collection bc I’m loving what I have lol. But ok, back to this beauty…when I first smelled it, I actually didn’t think I’d love it. It smelled a little too oily for my novice nose, but after diluting it, I’m just in love with this incredibly eloquent and feminine floral.
Also thank you Hermitage for keeping the supply chain short… your new pricing made this such an easy yes for me as it was an oil I’d been eyeing and so curious to try before! TY!!!

This was my first encounter with osmanthus and now I understand the hype. I think it’s like the oud of florals, floral but fruity, sensual yet innocent, deep but playful. A true beauty, I am very happy, the color too is deep yellow and yellow is a bright happy color to me. I love this absolute. Lasts moderately long, in alcohol not long enough I think to call it a true heart note though I only used three drops in 5ml. In an attar I think it would work wonders and 1 drop or even a luxurious two drops per ml might be my next bet. I can magine pairing it with ouds already though I still have to,, I am slowly sniffing and enjoying my last order, not all at once 🙂 I will try in any case to find the right amount (pure is just wow, lasts about 4-5 hours on my skin. It’s not something that I think men would quickly wear but I would, and will! I also like to wear rose and lotus flower and this osmanthus is beautiful. I will buy more of this beauty soon!

Phenomenal and complex! I can’t really add more to what others have said, the juxtaposition of the beautiful fruity florals with the animalic leatheriness is truly awe-inspiring!

Peaches in honey. The warm embrace of autumn. My favourite!!!!!!!
This osmanthus has a more pronounced bottom line. Animalic, leathery notes that would be very interesting to develop.
Hugs, Medea and Anton.

This current batch is genuinely glamorous, richly nuanced and sophisticated, indeed scintillating floral gem of an essence – which I nickname ‘Rococo boogie-woogie – all night long’,
carries under its scrumptious opening facade – of delectable fruity galore – a naughty undercurrent of watery-savory pheromonic-animalic redolence of erotic secretions and fleshy carnal innuendos, which turn this Osmanthus into an enticing flirtatious ‘jet-set party animal’ – a blissful bouquet of thrills and pleasures. Expect truly euphoric effects, especially when paired with Oud into a gorgeous aphrodisiac duo.

I agree…glamorous is the right word. Brighter and fruitier than the concrete. Beautiful with Oud. Beautiful with Oakmoss. I liked it best with the absinthe/wormwood also sold here.
