Description

For Absolue d’Osmanthe Perris Monte Carlo have chosen the most delicate and fragrant of the many varieties of osmanthus, a small, olive-like evergreen. This is their homage to China’s millennial of culture.

In spring and autumn, the valley of the River Li is tinged with white, red and orange flowers and dark red fruits similar to olives. Dominated by a delicate hint of peach, the formula re-evokes the dream of ancient times, reworking it with a modern twist. Around the Osmanthus flowers, Jasmine Sambac, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tolu Balsam and Labdanum build an enigma for the senses: is there something of the eternal in this fragrance?


Notes: Top notes are Osmanthus, Peach, Plum and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Tolu Balsam and Jasmine Sambac; base notes are Labdanum, Sandalwood and Vanilla.

Release Date: 2016

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
