Curious labels like Rose Otto and Osmanthus Absolute

Posted by Robin on 2 March 2018 4 Comments

The vials on the display rack bear curious labels like Rose Otto and Osmanthus Absolute. If you ask about them, you are likely to get some fascinating back story. The lavender, for instance, which boasts 1,200 natural compounds, is harvested in the Alps by delinquent French teenagers from Nice who are sent to the floral farm for emotional healing.

— The New York Times checks out Manhattan boutique Enfleurage, which specializes in aromatic materials. Read more at The Sweet Smell of Osmanthus Absolute (and see Alyssa's interview with the owner, part 1 and part 2, or Jessica's review of a few of their finished fragrance blends).

    I love this store, I must get back. They made us frankincense ice cream on one of the Sniffapalooza tours.

    I guess those names are “curious” to non-perfumistas? They sound perfectly ordinary to me.
