Osmanthus presents a complex and multifaceted olfactory profile, often described as a delicate yet potent blend of fruity, floral, and leathery nuances. The initial impression is typically a bright, juicy apricot or peach note, sometimes leaning towards plum or dried fruit. This sweet, succulent fruitiness is intertwined with a soft, creamy floralcy reminiscent of jasmine or violet, but with a unique, almost tea-like transparency. As the note evolves, a distinct, sophisticated leathery or suede-like undertone emerges, adding depth and a subtle animalic warmth. The texture can feel smooth, velvety, and slightly waxy. Intensity varies depending on concentration and extraction method, but it is generally considered a note with moderate projection that sits elegantly on the skin. It functions most commonly as a heart note, bridging the gap between brighter top notes and richer base notes, but its fruity facets can appear early, and its leathery depth can linger into the base.
