- Osmanthus is rich and intense — start at the lower end and adjust upward
- Use as a fixative to extend the sweet, fruity-floral heart notes

Make a small test batch first. The GC-MS profile helps your perfumer understand exactly what this wax contributes (beta-ionone richness, linalool freshness), so dosage can be tuned with confidence.
