Absolute Osmathus
Osmanthus fragrans
Osmanthus Flower Absolute (Osmanthus fragrans), also known as Osmanthe or Fleur d'Osmanthus, is a refined, bewitching essence extracted from the flowering tops of the Osmanthus shrub, native to China. This absolute is renowned for its sweet, powdery, honeyed fragrance, subtly enriched with floral and fruity nuances. It is used in the creation of floral, fruity and oriental fragrances, where it blends harmoniously with citrus, vanilla and sandalwood notes. Its solvent extraction preserves all its olfactory richness, making it a precious ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics. Incorporated into your skincare products, it adds a delicate, fragrant touch to face creams, body lotions, cleansers and perfumes. As with all absolutes, it is essential to follow the recommended dosage and perform an allergy test before use to ensure safe use. Store away from air, heat and light to preserve its effectiveness and aromatic richness.
