Osmanthus Extract

Osmanthus is a sophisticated floral extract with a unique combination of apricot, peach, tea-like freshness and a soft leather and honey nuance.
This organic extraction is thinly liquid and therefore easy to incorporate into perfumes.

Osmanthus gives any composition a luxurious, fruity-floral warmth with an elegant depth.

Perfect for modern florals, fruity accords, chypres and niche fragrances that need a natural, golden glow.

Technical note:

Osmanthus is not a true essential oil because the flowers cannot be steam distilled.
This product is an organic extraction, similar to an absolute but thinly liquid and easy to handle.
Therefore, it stands for optimal findability in both Absolues & Extracts and Essential Oils.

After organic extraction, vacuum distillation is used to purify the extract and make it thinly liquid for easier processing.

* Footnote:

Vacuum distillation is a purification step that takes place after the organic extraction of a flower material such as Narcissus or Osmanthus. After the fragrances are first extracted from the flowers with a mild solvent, the extract is gently heated under reduced pressure (vacuum). Due to the lower pressure, unwanted components – such as solvent residues, waxy compounds or heavy byproducts – evaporate at a much lower temperature than normal.

This prevents scent damage and provides a cleaner, more stable and often thin liquid end product. So vacuum distillation does not change the way the fragrance is extracted, but refines the extract so that it is easier to incorporate into perfumes.
