Osmanthus Absolute (Osmanthus fragrans) has a floral scent sought by perfumers for its unusual, elegant aroma. It is also one of the most expensive heart notes in perfumery, having a unique sweet fragrance.

The plant is called Tea Olive or Sweet Olive. The aroma is one you will always remember as a new experience. The absolute allows the fragrance to be enjoyed.  It blends well with Vanilla absolute, Benzoin Styrax, Peru Balsam, Sandalwood Mysore, jasmine and all citruses.

Originating in China, Osmanthus symbolizes true love and faithfulness. I am so glad it grows in Texas!  September marks the Chinese Moon festival, or Osmanthus festival. A time to enjoy and honor such a prized flower! Osmanthus absolute blends well with Jasmine grandiflora, Rose absolute, and Neroli. After you experience the heavenly aroma, you may choose to wear Osmanthus neat!
