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.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is intimate but not soft-focus: a wool sleeve brushing a leather armchair as conversation settles into a slower rhythm. Osmanthus brings a tea-like bite beneath the creamy balsams, lending the wearer warmth with an animalic edge.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the creamy, leathery base room to develop before adding more. Cooler weather suits its vanilla and resinous warmth; in heated rooms or warm weather, a lighter application keeps that richness from becoming too enveloping.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to leathery florals, balsamic warmth and a trace of animalic tension. It suits a taste for flowers with texture and depth rather than bright, airy petals, and for vanilla used to soften a composition rather than turn it overtly gourmand.

The nose
Jean-Michel Santorini is the perfumer behind Absolue d’Osmanthe Extrait. He began his career at Robertet, the fragrance house renowned for its expertise in natural raw materials, and is among Perris Monte Carlo’s collaborating perfumers.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo puts fragrant raw materials at the centre of its compositions, combining traditional perfumery with advances in extraction and formulation. Its idea of luxury rests on craftsmanship and ingredient quality, with fragrances that invite closer attention to the character of a particular material.
Absolue d’Osmanthe Extrait’s concept
Conceived as an homage to Chinese culture, Absolue d’Osmanthe Extrait explores the sweet, sensual character of osmanthus, with rose petals woven into the brand’s creative narrative. Rather than simply intensifying the Eau de Parfum, it shifts the balance towards vanilla and labdanum, giving the floral theme a creamier, more leathery setting.
Extra info
Absolue d’Osmanthe was an Independent Category finalist at the 2017 Art and Olfaction Awards. The finalist listing did not specify a concentration, so the distinction belongs to the fragrance name rather than conclusively to this Extrait.
