Absolue d’Osmanthe

Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, apricot-tinged osmanthus with a sophisticated resinous base that many reviewers adore, though some find it a bit too linear for the price point. Definitely a 'love at first sniff' for most, despite some nitpicking about its evolution.
This isn't your average airy osmanthus; Absolue d'Osmanthe is a full-bodied embrace, a bold amber-floral that manages to be both deeply comforting and intriguingly complex. It's a divisive one, with some finding the resinous opening challenging, but those who stick around are rewarded with a rich, golden drydown.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and rich, resinous character make it less suitable for a typical office environment. The warmth and depth, however, lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, while its unique profile can also elevate a casual setting.
