How would you describe the aroma of this osmanthus absolute on the scent strip?
On the blotter this absolute opens with a rich apricot-peach fruity floral top note, develops a buttery-creamy, honey-like sweetness in the heart, and settles into soft leathery-woody undertones — an unmistakable, luxurious osmanthus signature.
