Osmanthus in this perfume is harvested deep within Guilin province in China. Absolute d’Osmanthe is a modern take on the centuries old essence. The flowers bloom between October and November filling the entire valley with a dreamy fragrance. For the past 2000 years, this fragrant flower with an aroma reminiscent of apricot has been part of perfumers pallette.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and deliberate presence: a softly lit room, warm air, and someone who prefers depth over brightness. Its leathery fruit and resinous sweetness read as intimate rather than airy, with a slow, textured trail that lingers near the skin.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its osmanthus, plum and vanilla can unfold without feeling heavy. Apply lightly at first; one to three sprays are enough to let the floral-leathery core project with a smooth, persistent warmth and strong longevity.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like floral scents with darker texture, fruity richness and a resinous, slightly animalic edge. It suits those drawn to opulent oriental compositions, natural materials and perfumes that feel expressive rather than transparent.
Release year
2016
The nose
Jean-Michel Santorini is credited with composing Absolue d’Osmanthe under the direction of Gian Luca Perris. His work here shows a taste for dense, atmospheric compositions that balance floral radiance with resinous depth and a distinctly oriental warmth. In this fragrance, Santorini treats osmanthus not as a delicate accent but as the central material, shaping its apricot, leather and tea-like facets into a fuller, more textured composition. The result is a perfume that feels both classical in inspiration and modern in structure, with a polished, opulent finish.
Collaborators
Gian Luca Perris, the brand’s founder and creative director, shaped the concept and guided the composition around a specific osmanthus material from Guilin, steering the fragrance toward a transportive, place-driven idea rather than a generic floral brief.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo builds its identity around ingredients, craftsmanship and olfactive travel. The house tends to foreground the material itself, using rare naturals and culturally rooted inspirations to create fragrances that feel focused, luxurious and compositionally clear rather than logo-driven.
Absolue d’Osmanthe’s concept
Absolue d’Osmanthe was conceived as a homage to China’s osmanthus tradition, drawing on the flowers of Guilin in mid-autumn and their long history in perfumery. The composition reworks that ancient material with modern floral, resinous and woody accents to create a richer, more contemporary oriental profile.
Extra info
Osmanthus is the signature material here, sourced from Guilin in China, where the flowers bloom in autumn and have been valued for centuries. The perfume is offered in Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum versions, reflecting the house’s interest in presenting the same idea in different intensities.
