The story behind the bottle.
Osmanthus Absolut Oil by Clive Christian was launched in 2018, crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with the zesty freshness of lemon and mandarin orange, giving way to a heart of freesia and osmanthus — notes that create a vibrant floral bouquet. The base of vetiver, saffron, and vanilla adds depth and warmth, resulting in a composition that is both bright and cozy.
Apply Osmanthus Absolut Oil lightly to pulse points — it has a strong presence in the top notes that fade into a warm base. The fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than from across the room, so a few spritzes should suffice for all-day wear.
