Perris Monte Carlo Absolue d’Osmanthe is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Absolue d’Osmanthe opens with Osmanthus, Pink Pepper, and Plum, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Tolu Balsam, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Perris Monte Carlo's Absolue d’Osmanthe carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Absolue d'Osmanthe opens with a juicy plum and the apricot-like facets of osmanthus, swiftly enveloped by a warm, almost honeyed balsamic richness. As it settles, a sweet, powdery jasmine emerges, intertwined with creamy sandalwood and a deep, leathery labdanum. It's an evolving scent that culminates in a sensual, amber-vanilla base.
