Absolue d'Osmanthe
Absolue d'Osmanthe by Perris Monte Carlo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with osmanthus, plum and pink pepper, moves into sambac jasmine and tolu balsam and dries down to labdanum, vanilla and sandalwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Tolu Balsam Warm, sweet, slightly cinnamon resin. Rich and rounded.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
