Absolue d'Osmanthe

Inspiration
Gian Luca Perris comes from a family that has worked with natural raw materials since the late nineteenth century. For this extrait he let the osmanthus from Guilin speak in an even higher concentration, like a precious essence you use drop by drop.

The Signature of Absolue d'Osmanthe
Here the osmanthus is deeper and richer in apricot, the plum darker. Tolu balsam and jasmine melt in the heart into something honeyed. The base of labdanum, vanilla and sandalwood clings close to the skin for hours.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Anyone who already knows the Eau de Parfum will discover a more intimate, creamier side in this extrait. The projection is quieter, but the scent easily lasts a whole day and night. We find the balsam comes through more beautifully here, with a gleam like warm resin in the sun. One of us wears it on winter evenings like a scarf around her neck. Two drops on the neck are plenty, so the 50 ml bottle lasts a very long time.
