Sale Perris Monte Carlo Absolue d’Osmanthe

Absolue d’Osmanthe is an Leathery, floral, fruity scent created for Men and Women in 2016 by perfumer Jean-Michel Santorini.

Review

This scent is mysterious and intriguing. Its earthy nuances balance delicately with the natural sweetness of Osmanthus. It’s almost tea-like, flowery, fruity, with its Leather base shining through. It is a delicate Oriental concoction awaiting your discovery. It can be worn at the office if sprayed sparingly, but is best suited for Fall and Winter occasions, formal or casual. It is comparable to Auphorie’s Miyako.

Inspiration

Absolue d’Osmanthe is a sultry and dry scent centered around Chinese Osmanthus Absolute. It is an Olive-like Evergreen with sweet smelling flowers that bloom during the Mid-Autumn Festivals in China, where the Osmanthus is used in everything from food, to drinks, to decorating altars. 

Notes

A soft Plum note plays off of the naturally sweet Osmanthus Absolute. Jasmine Sambac blends with resinous Tolu Balm, creating a sultry essence. Leathery Labdanum sneaks in and infuses itself within the softness. Dry Woods and Sandalwood add depth to the warmer tones, and helps this fragrance to last. A final note of Vanilla adds a subtle sweetness, bringing back the essence of Osmanthus from the top.
