Osmanthus
Osmanthus combines delicate flowers with ripe apricot, tea and soft suede-like facets. It can feel tender and fruity while carrying an unexpectedly dry, leathery depth.

It bridges fruit and leather, adds character to tea accords and gives floral compositions a softly textured finish.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
Natural osmanthus absolute comes from flowers. Aroma materials can also recreate its apricot-floral-leather effect, so a note listing is not proof of the natural extract.
