In the aromatic universe, osmanthus sits somewhere between tart, punchy tobacco, strong tea, and animalic oud.
Perris is fascinated by nature’s fragrant treasures and make perfume materials THE story of each of their perfume. So much so, that they experiment with the same perfume material in different perfume architectures: eau de parfum and extait.
How does this work? In Absolue d’Osmanthe EdP, osmanthus is of course the main theme, but balance is shifted to the top (proportion-wise there is more pepper and jasmine in the blend). So the EdP is dry and spicy.
The extrait version of Absolue d’Osmanthe is heavier on the base notes of vanilla and labdanum. The extrait is creamier and more leathery compared to the spicy EdP.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a close-wearing fragrance for moments when you want warmth and texture rather than brightness. It suits intimate settings, where its leathery sweetness can unfold slowly and leave a polished, slightly animalic trail without feeling loud.
How to wear
Best in cool weather or air-conditioned spaces, where the extrait’s vanilla, labdanum and tolu balm can bloom without turning heavy. Apply sparingly: one or two sprays are enough to create a soft but persistent aura that sits close to the skin and grows creamier over time.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like osmanthus with depth, especially if they enjoy leathery florals, resinous warmth and a subtle animalic tone. It will appeal to those who prefer refined, textured compositions over sparkling freshness.

The nose
Gian Luca Perris Gian Luca Perris is the founder and in-house perfumer behind Perris Monte Carlo, a house built around the close study of natural materials and their most expressive forms. His style leans toward raw-material clarity, texture and depth, often letting a single ingredient unfold across different structures. In Absolue d’Osmanthe Extrait, that approach is especially clear: the fragrance treats osmanthus not as a decorative floral, but as a material with apricot, tea-like, smoky and leathery facets. Perris shapes it into a denser, more opulent extrait, with the base given extra weight through labdanum, vanilla and sandalwood.
Collaborators
Gian Luca Perris acted as both creative director and in-house perfumer, shaping the concept around a high-concentration study of osmanthus and deciding the extrait’s richer, more leathery base. No other collaborator is specifically credited for this fragrance.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo builds its fragrances around craftsmanship, natural materials and a clear respect for raw ingredients. The house balances traditional perfumery know-how with a modern, research-driven approach, favoring compositions that let a material speak with clarity rather than burying it in excess.
Absolue d’Osmanthe Extrait’s concept
Absolue d’Osmanthe Extrait belongs to Perris Monte Carlo’s Extracts Collection, which revisits key materials at higher concentration for a fuller, more opulent expression. Here osmanthus is treated as the central idea, but the extrait leans into the base, making the flower feel creamier, darker and more leathery than the drier Eau de Parfum.
Extra info
It is part of Perris Monte Carlo’s Extracts Collection, which focuses on high-concentration interpretations of key materials. The fragrance is unisex and is often described as a subtly fruity-sweet take on osmanthus with a richer base than the Eau de Parfum.
