Roger & Gallet Fleur d'Osmanthus Perfume Water: Fragrance Description

Rediscover the joy of sunny days and the lightness of floral scents. Fleur d'Osmanthus, created by Master Perfumer Nathalie Lorson, surprises with its freshness and cheerfulness. The natural Osmanthus absolute brings apricot and fruity notes, while Italian Mandarin adds a sunny, joyful touch. Benzoin's amber power enhances the fragrance with sweet undertones.
This fragrance is ideal for individuals who appreciate fruity and fresh aromas but prefer to avoid an overly citrusy scent.

In the perfume, there's a subtle hint of delicate osmanthus, yet it's a celebration of spring flowers dominated by the presence of orange blossom. The fragrance is clean and pure, with no trace of darkness or earthiness. Fleur d’Osmanthus' simplicity is alluring. It starts with a juicy burst of orange, complemented by a dash of lively lemon, then smoothly transitions into a cascade of white petals. The lemon's sharpness prevents the scent from becoming overly sugary, even in the drydown where the warmth of toasted almonds and musk takes over.

Perfume story

In the gentle embrace of the morning sun, Emily awoke, her senses gradually stirring from slumber. A bottle of osmanthus perfume beckoned from her bedside table. A few spritzes filled the room with a magical floral essence, wrapping her in a delicate embrace.
Putting on a cozy morning robe, Emily stepped into her kitchen, where an a mysterious transformation occurred. The walls dissolved, replaced by an apricot garden in full bloom. Amid the lush greenery, trees heavy with golden apricots stretched towards the sky, filling the air with their intoxicating aroma.
Barefoot, she wandered through this unexpected haven, plucking a ripe apricot. Its velvety skin yielded to her touch, releasing a burst of sweetness. The fragrant blend of osmanthus and apricot enveloped her, casting worries aside.
Suddenly, she heard a woke up alarm and slowly returned to her apartment, however the osmanthus scent became a lingering reminder of her secret garden. She discovered that a mere fragrance could unveil hidden paradises, revealing the beauty that lies just beyond the ordinary.
