Fragrant osmanthus flowers smell like ripe peaches or apricots, carrying a scent that is often described as floral and fruity with subtle green undertones. The flower’s very name, from the Greek ‘osme’ meaning smell, and ‘anthos’ meaning flower, means aromatic flower - a sure clue to the fruity, warm fragrance it brings to our products.

- It has a juicy, peach-like aroma.
- The natural antioxidants in the flower are associated with soothing properties for the skin.

To make an infusion, we carefully select ingredients for their benefits, gather them in a muslin cloth, and steep them in hot water for several minutes. This allows the osmanthus flower to release its properties and scent. It’s a bit like brewing a floral tea.

The osmanthus flower holds rich symbolism in many East Asian cultures, where it is believed to represent enduring love and the sweetness of life. In Chinese mythology, osmanthus is closely associated with the moon, where the velvety blossom is often infused in tea or wine and drunk during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which usually coincides with the flower’s blooming period.
