Floral

Osmanthus absolute is like walking through a Chinese garden at dusk—honeyed and delicate, yet with an almost fruity brightness. Imagine the sweetness of ripe apricots crossed with fresh honey, tinged with a subtle almond-like creaminess. It's floral without being heady or perfume-counter obvious; rather, it smells like actual flowers you'd want to bury your face in. There's a gentle, slightly powdery warmth underneath, reminiscent of dried fruit or warm amber, making it feel simultaneously sophisticated and comforting.

Peru Balsam smells like a warm embrace of vanilla-tinged honey drizzled over soft leather and aged wood. There's a honeyed sweetness—almost caramel-like—but grounded by something earthy and slightly spiced, reminiscent of cinnamon and clove. It's simultaneously creamy and resinous, with an animalic undertone that feels almost tobacco-like. Imagine walking into an old library where leather-bound books sit beside jars of amber honey—that's the olfactory territory here.
