Absolue d’Osmanthe by Perris Monte Carlo £160.00
- Key notes:
- osmanthus
- prunes
- vanilla
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- leather
Osmanthus in this perfume is harvested deep within Guilin province in China. Absolute d’Osmanthe is a modern take on the centuries old essence. The flowers bloom between October and November filling the entire valley with a dreamy fragrance. For the past 2000 years, this fragrant flower with an aroma reminiscent of apricot has been part of perfumers pallette.
Absolue d’Osmanthe Extrait by Perris Monte Carlo £250.00
- Key notes:
- labdanum
- osmanthus
- tolu balm
- vanilla
- Aromagroups:
- leather
- woody
In the aromatic universe, osmanthus sits somewhere between tart, punchy tobacco, strong tea, and animalic oud.
Perris is fascinated by nature’s fragrant treasures and make perfume materials THE story of each of their perfume. So much so, that they experiment with the same perfume material in different perfume architectures: eau de parfum and extait.
How does this work? In Absolue d’Osmanthe EdP, osmanthus is of course the main theme, but balance is shifted to the top (proportion-wise there is more pepper and jasmine in the blend). So the EdP is dry and spicy.
The extrait version of Absolue d’Osmanthe is heavier on the base notes of vanilla and labdanum. The extrait is creamier and more leathery compared to the spicy EdP.
Dangerous Complicity by Etat Libre d'Orange £155.00
- Key notes:
- leather
- osmanthus
- rum
- Aromagroups:
- edible
- floral
A sensual floral with an exotic tropical touch.
Ylang-ylang, jasmine and leathery osmathus are highlighted with ginger, coconut and rum.
Elegant, decadent and slightly melancholic, very Lana del Ray.

"My old man is a tough man
But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me, admires me
The way I roll like a rolling stone."
Off to the races. L. Del Ray
Delulu by Oddity £170.00
- Key notes:
- ambroxan
- blackcurrant
- cedrat
- mandarin
- osmanthus
- rose
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- green
- spicy
- woody
Delulu is a soft-focus dream sequence in oversaturated colours, swirling across a soundtrack of shoegaze and nineties/noughties indie.This particular sequence follows childhood into adolescence: a favourite toy, a pack of crayons, a melted sweet in your jeans pocket, a bite of berry pie, a long sunny day doing nothing. There’s fizzy cedrat and the salty-fresh friction of tart rhubarb against rooty vetiver. Like all dreams, things get weird: a niff of rosy plastic and smoky incense. Yesterday is a place you can never visit again, but it’s still an escape from tomorrow. That’s Delulu.
Delulu bottle caps are hand made from memories, specifically a nostalgic jumble of plastic beach toys captured in epoxy resin.

Devoti Peccatori by Santi Peccatori £210.00
- Key notes:
- osmanthus

- tonka beans

- Aromagroups:
- leather
The name means “devout sinners”, conjuring that delicious tension between our best intentions and our wicked ways. In this parfum, syrupy caramel drizzles over rich osmanthus, dark cocoa twins with ambergris’ sweet earthiness, bright orange dances with leathery cypriol. Precious mysore sandalwood underpins the composition. An invitation to lead with the soul.

Dot by Comme Des Garcons £115.00

- Aromagroups:

Lovely and limpid, pretty and pellucid, osmanthus is poetry in a flower. Its scent is a gorgeous whirl of apricot, tea and suede, which in Dot is made even more fresh with bitter orange and leafy green notes. This enveloping edp keeps the edges round with amber woods, punctuated by a sprinkling of peppery frankincense.
Edo Park by Cherigan £160.00
- Key notes:
- freesia

When Japan opened up trade and travel to the rest of the world in the mid 19th century, it influenced art, theatre, architecture and philosophy across Europe. Edo Park is an olfactory portrait of Japan through the eyes of the West, with osmanthus as the centrepiece. An iconic flower of Asian culture, osmanthus has a complex blend of apricot, tea and soft leather. In this extrait, this sophisticated but sunny floral is enhanced with notes of citrus, freesia and Siberian pine.
