I live in Taiwan and there are osmanthus shrubs EVERYWHERE and i can smell them for the better part of the year... In my opinion based on the ACTUAL scent of real osmanthus flowers, you've mentioned TWO in this list that TRULY snell like osmanthus : Ormonde Jayne, and Perris Monte Carlo... The Perris is SLIGHTLY more authentic (Though the OJ version is gorgeous, too)... Two more that DO really nail the true scent of osmanthus are The Different Company - Osmanthus (a soliflore but VERY authentic, albeit a bit dull by comparison) and Mona di Orio's Oudh Osmanthus... BEAUTIFUL and real... Just my two "scents" haha!!
I truly appreciate your channel. The way you explain facets of fragrance and then provide examples is amazing. You’re quite literally a fragrance professor!
Osmanthus fragrans/ Tea Olive - Here in New Orleans, and elsewhere in the South, Tea Olives are often put along front walks or beside front doors so the incredible apricot/stone fruit scent will greet visitors. The scent is intoxicating. Loved this video!
Omg Love Osmanthus from Atelier Cologne is gorgeous. Gucci Flora has it as well, both gorgeous scents. I've heard of Cuir de Chine, which is supposed to be a stunning leathery Osmanthus.
I own your No. 4 (Molinard Osmanthus) and your No. 1 Ormonde Jane Osmanthus. I also would add the Hermès Osmanthe Yunnan. What an informative and enjoyable video. Thank you Sebastian!
Fun story about Ormonde Jayne Osmanthus! I put it on my wrist at a perfume shop in Rome and just loved it all throughout the day. A couple of months later I couldn’t remember the name and went through their entire website looking at every bottle and reading the notes until I found it 😂 at first I thought it was a French perfume, which threw me off for a bit but when I finally stumbled across it, I remembered the bottle and name (I also loveJo Malone’s Osmanthus Blossom)
And now we can add One Day - Osmanthus. The best osmanthus perfume I`ve ever had, it keeps reminding me of my trip to Yangshuo, Guilin, China. Simply magical.
What a creative note to make a top 15 about 👏 I enjoyed the review. Actually I am still discovering this note and I am desperate to smell/eat it as a raw material. I had an osmanthus candy which tastes very unique: fruity, creamy and sweet. The interesting fact is, when I eat it with coffee it brings up the fruity notes like magic !
Great video! I’ve been trying to get my hands on Molinard Osmanthus but can’t find it anywhere. Any places you know where they sell it? Would appreciate your suggestions
Osmanthus by Aqua di Parma is the most authentic / natural Osmanthus I’ve smelled. But even that is still not 100% to what the actual Osmanthus flower smells like from the tree.
I know this video is old but can anyone tell me if the Acqua Di Parma Osmanthus is good? I remember smelling it back in the day and thought I liked it.
Thank you for this nice review :) ! I have a fragrance wich features only 2 notes, bigarade and osmanthus, it's "tropicale tentation" from Yves Rocher. The combination of these 2 ingredients smell to me like a ripe mango, the flesh and a bit of bitterness from the skin. A nice simple fruity cheapie for summer. I've also put my nose on "osmanthe Yunnan" from "les Hermessences": not my favourite of the line, but still a gracious light fruity-floral with a tea note (I was told it's the favorite of Chinese and Japanese customers).
One of my favorite notes in perfumes. I like it to support notes like leather and other white flowers. It's a favorite for sure. Glad you covered this one.
Favorite smell in my yard in winter beginning of spring here in Alabama!! I really haven’t smelled anything exactly like it but I need to try some of your suggestions!
I just moved from Hawaii recently..there was an osmanthus just down from my place..such a great scent..I was looking at grabbing the aqua di parma osmanthus but just worried about prefomance..I do have a few but blended..not specific
JM Osmanthus has been an obsession for years. Grown up, green and fresh and it doesn’t smell like everybody else. Not rooted in an era, can feel very femme but also strong and clean. Sadly it only gets released every two or three years.
Oooooh great list!!!! Exaltatum Osmanthus nobile I s gorgeous and my favourite Osmanthus scent, thank you for featuring it! I also love Ruby Wood from the same house. (Not that you asked… 😂)
You always have interesting topic videos. Thank you for the list! Love osmanthus as a note. Fruity but not too sweet. Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is good one too. Will definitely try Osmanthus by Ormonde Jaune.
I haven't smelled a lot of Osmanthus fragrances, but really like Lucid dream from Ex-idolo which has a smoky osmanthus note with davana, rose and incense
I wish someone could capture the smell of the osmanthus lined road (small tree sized) leading up to the house at Bellingrath Plantation in Alabama. That was my introduction to the fragrance.
Carlisle by Parfums de Marley also features osmanthus. Perhaps the osmanthus isn’t as strong or like you said Herod is your favorite from the house so of course it would rank as a higher preference.
Fabulous list. But...no Meraki? Parfums d'empire used to have a tea type scent osmanthus interdite. I need ormonde jayne's in my life. 😎 Eta: lutens' daim blond is a suede osmanthus, elegant & spicy
My favorite fragrance that featured Osmanthus was from Narcisso Rodriguez it was an oil, Musk for Her. It was intoxicating, alas they no longer make it and I have not found anything similar.
I believe Ulrich Lang's "17 Nandan Road" deserves an honorable mention as it features a really beautiful and natural osmanthus and soft leather vibes, and no annoying notes that could distract from the beauty of osmanthus.
hey cool show can you do a tournament of your best colognes and let the girls pick and rate and find the champion i don't think anyone has done that yet that would be really awsome and you'll get alot of views!!!
Dangerous Complicity from Etat Libre D'Orange is a great osmanthus fragrance! Super boozy initially but then an osmanthus bomb after that with cashmeran, coconut, and ylang-ylang.
So much for going home….Just pulled the car over in Twain Harte, up in the Sierras. I found a sample of the Jo Malone on eBay so will try that. Thanks Sebastian!

You have been on fire with these great idea videos lately! 🤩
Yay! Thank you!

Fantastic list! Another fave-Serge Lutens Nuit De Cellophane.
I pass a few osmanthus shrubs when I walk my dogs and I’m determined to find the right osmanthus perfume for me… this is a great start. Followed.
What brand did u finally buy? May u share ur experience. Thanks
It makes me happy when I receive a new video notification from your channel. Your reviews bring a refreshing break in my day.
Glad to hear it!
Great list and I enjoyed it and me and my wife are going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Omg Love Osmanthus from Atelier Cologne is gorgeous. Gucci Flora has it as well, both gorgeous scents. I've heard of Cuir de Chine, which is supposed to be a stunning leathery Osmanthus.
Great content! One of the best fragrance reviewers on UA-cam! 🌟
I would add Osmanthe Yunnan from Hermes; such a gorgeous fragrance!
Thank you!!!! One of my favorites!!! Insulted he didn’t add it to the list haha!
I find this to be dizzyingly green and didn’t last long on me :-/
People love the way fig tea smells. Mad compliments. Could you do a Alberto Morillas list or Olivia poige list
I own your No. 4 (Molinard Osmanthus) and your No. 1 Ormonde Jane Osmanthus. I also would add the Hermès Osmanthe Yunnan. What an informative and enjoyable video. Thank you Sebastian!
So curious about Fig&Tea! 😆 Herod I already love... Loool Really need to try Ormond Jayne's Osmanthus... Thank you for the video! 👍

I have both Herod and Ormonde Jayne Osmanthus. They are my absolute favorite osmanthus featured notes. Thank you for excellent video
And now we can add One Day - Osmanthus. The best osmanthus perfume I`ve ever had, it keeps reminding me of my trip to Yangshuo, Guilin, China. Simply magical.

I’ve been trying to get my hands on Molinard Osmanthus but can’t find it anywhere. Any places you know where they sell it? Would appreciate your suggestions
Osmanthus is a favorite of mine , would a combination of Osmantus , iris , Narcissus , Jasmine make for an intense powdery fragrance ?
Perhaps yes.
I’d love to see a video about the Alexander McQueen line. I never hear anyone talking about their fragrances!!
Hopefully soon with what I have in my collection! :)
I have a dear friend who loves osmanthus wine, I'm going to recommend this video to him as I'm sure he will love these fragrances!
Osmanthus by Aqua di Parma is the most authentic / natural Osmanthus I’ve smelled. But even that is still not 100% to what the actual Osmanthus flower smells like from the tree.
Ormonde Jayne - Osmathus 🧡 it’s a love!
I know this video is old but can anyone tell me if the Acqua Di Parma Osmanthus is good? I remember smelling it back in the day and thought I liked it.
I love Amouage Sunshine - absolutely yummy and also being Osmanthius with the Jasmine, white Tobacco and Vanilla 💛
You read my mind! I wanted to find out more about this stuff called osmanthus!
Awesome!!
So far, most intrigued by LA PARFUMERIE MODERNE BELLES RIVES
It's good. I hope you get to try it! :)

I'm not too familiar with this note but the fragrances you featured I am aware of some. LOL. I'll dig deeper.
have you smelled Maison Margiela Promenade In The Gardens? what's different between it and springtime in a park??
do you like it??
I can’t wait to try some of these! Thanks!
One of my favorite notes in perfumes. I like it to support notes like leather and other white flowers. It's a favorite for sure. Glad you covered this one.
Never heard of osmanthus before. Very informative
I also enjoy Osmanthe Yunnan by Hermès, Memo Inle and Amouage Sunshine woman. I like this fruity suede touch of the osmanthus note ❤
Osmanthus is in my top 5 favourite notes. For me, the best fragrance with osmanthus is Fleur de Portofino by TF. Great topic btw! 😊
Thanks for sharing!! But wasn't aware of Fleur De Portofino. I actually skipped that Fragrance maybe I should revisit! :)
Favorite smell in my yard in winter beginning of spring here in Alabama!! I really haven’t smelled anything exactly like it but I need to try some of your suggestions!
Sounds great!
i didnt know there was osmanthus in alabama! thought only in asia / china
I just moved from Hawaii recently..there was an osmanthus just down from my place..such a great scent..I was looking at grabbing the aqua di parma osmanthus but just worried about prefomance..I do have a few but blended..not specific
JM Osmanthus has been an obsession for years. Grown up, green and fresh and it doesn’t smell like everybody else. Not rooted in an era, can feel very femme but also strong and clean. Sadly it only gets released every two or three years.
You have got to try Mona di Orio Oud Osmanthus and Parfums d’Empire Osmanthus Interdite, both excellent!
I'll check it out!
Great vid! I'm enjoying Les Indemodables Cuir de Chine, has a great osmanthus note.
Oh yes I saw! But I don’t have!! 🥲
Oooooh great list!!!! Exaltatum Osmanthus nobile I s gorgeous and my favourite Osmanthus scent, thank you for featuring it! I also love Ruby Wood from the same house. (Not that you asked… 😂)
Absolue D'Osmanthe by Perris Monte Carlo is probably my favorite osmanthus note, it's featured so prominently and is terribly delicious.
Narciso Rodriguez for Her Edt is my favorite Osmanthus,
You always have interesting topic videos. Thank you for the list! Love osmanthus as a note. Fruity but not too sweet. Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is good one too. Will definitely try Osmanthus by Ormonde Jaune.

Another great video😊consistently solid channel.
I wish someone could capture the smell of the osmanthus lined road (small tree sized) leading up to the house at Bellingrath Plantation in Alabama. That was my introduction to the fragrance.
Great video. Please please can you help me find a perfume similar to La Perla classic. Thank you.
Carlisle by Parfums de Marley also features osmanthus.
Perhaps the osmanthus isn’t as strong or like you said Herod is your favorite from the house so of course it would rank as a higher preference.
Jean Patou 1000 , is a great vintage osmanthus fragrance.
Best one is Perris Absolue D'Osmanthe for me
Loved the video!
Great video! Have you smelt Soleil de Jeddah by Stephane Humbert Lucas 777? This is and awesome fragrance with osmanthus in it as well
Wow these videos man they’re simply gems..aroma from heaven
So...are these mens or womens perfumes?
Great video as always Sebastian. You should check out Osmanthus Toboggan by TSVGA Parfums. Amazing juice 🙏
I'll check it out!
@@ThePerfumeGuy big in your face osmanthus with some funky animalics to keep things interesting. Hope you enjoy
Fabulous list. But...no Meraki? Parfums d'empire used to have a tea type scent osmanthus interdite. I need ormonde jayne's in my life. 😎
Eta: lutens' daim blond is a suede osmanthus, elegant & spicy
I don’t own it! 🥲
Sebastian, there is another Sauvage flanker coming out this year. Just a heads up.
Atelier Cologne osmanthus layered with Armani my way!.... signature scents!
You have given an exact definition to the perfumes of ormonde Jayne .
Qamareddin 😋 or Amareddin by the Egy accent.. always great Mr Sebastian 🌹
LUFO and Soleil de Jeddah by Stephane Humbert Lucas are amazing osmathus scents.
Well, I live in Jeddah (costal city in Saudi Arabia) and we don't have any omanthus around here !
My favorite fragrance that featured Osmanthus was from Narcisso Rodriguez it was an oil, Musk for Her. It was intoxicating, alas they no longer make it and I have not found anything similar.
Bummer they discontinued it.
Thank you amazing OSMANTHUS Frangrance
Any time!
La Panthere Parfum is strong osmanthus and tea to me.
I dont have many but AdP Osmanthus is glorious.
I def need that one!! :)
I believe Ulrich Lang's "17 Nandan Road" deserves an honorable mention as it features a really beautiful and natural osmanthus and soft leather vibes, and no annoying notes that could distract from the beauty of osmanthus.
Ooh I don't know that one, in fact never smelled his stuff. Must check! :)
Sebastian I think you might really appreciate Amouage Sunshine Woman!
I will have to check it out soon!! Thank you for letting me know! :)
hey cool show can you do a tournament of your best colognes and let the girls pick and rate and find the champion i don't think anyone has done that yet that would be really awsome and you'll get alot of views!!!
I like ormand jayen black gold Amazing 😍
Trying to buy Olea Fragrans by Cerchi Nell Acqua but in vain.. if anyone can help
Kimonanthe is my fave osmanthus!
Osmanthus .. It has a very refreshing pomelo scent.. one of the best summer fragrances for me
Very informative. Thank you. I love this kind of videos.
Thank you for stopping by. 😀
Herod is awesome I wonder if I would like Molinard
Jo Malone osmanthus is so good
Dangerous Complicity from Etat Libre D'Orange is a great osmanthus fragrance! Super boozy initially but then an osmanthus bomb after that with cashmeran, coconut, and ylang-ylang.
I love ELDO. I'll have to check it out! :)
Amouage Journey has the most beautiful osmanthus note.
I love osmanthus in Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT! Very sexy fragrance!
I’ll have to check!! 😀
Bapteme du Feu has a light osmanthus note amongst the beguiling metallic and candied orange and ginger composition.
I remember Bapteme du Feu but can't remember the Osmanthus! :(
@@ThePerfumeGuy It reveals itself in the drydown. Fairly light but it's there.
So much for going home….Just pulled the car over in Twain Harte, up in the Sierras. I found a sample of the Jo Malone on eBay so will try that. Thanks Sebastian!
Oh wow! Nice re Sierras! :)
My favorite blogger 🙌💯 great video Sebastian!
You're the best!
I must admit to total ignorance concerning osmanthus fragrances. I'll try Ormond Jayne's version and also Herod.
Cool keep me posted once you try! :)
Vince Camuto is a great osmanthus
I need to check that! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy you can get it inexpensively and it’s breathtaking
Can you review tyger tyger and the another new from Francesca bianchi ?
Soon I will yes! :)
The Osmanthus Elixir by Ormonde Jayne is stronger and performs better than the Osmanthus one
cuir de chine from les indemodables is a very great osmanthus fragrance 👌🏼👌🏼

I do like osmanthus it's an interesting versatile note. Guerlain cuir intense has a great osmanthus and NICOLAI rose oud too 👌
I don't know the Guerlain and I have the NICOLAI but didn't know it was in there. I'll look for it next time! :)
It smells the same as I remember...
I love fig tea
