HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Crafted by Geza Schoen in 2019 for Ormonde Jayne, Osmanthus Elixir is a harmonious blend of fresh and woody notes that evoke the essence of an autumn garden. The fragrance opens with vibrant grapefruit and davana, creating a bright and invigorating beginning that transitions seamlessly into the heart's floral bouquet of osmanthus and jasmine sambac. This floral core is anchored by rich base notes of cedar, musk, vetiver, and labdanum, grounding the composition in earthy warmth.
Apply Osmanthus Elixir with two sprays to your pulse points — it opens with a vibrant grapefruit burst that fades within an hour, so layering is key for full enjoyment. The base notes develop slowly and are best experienced in the evening or during cooler weather.
