Osmanthus by The Different Company is an elegant carefree fragrance, by master-perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. It is feminine and colourful, great in summer, or when you would like to retain that cheerful summery feeling!
The intriguing scent of the small white flowers of the Osmanthus bush, mainly growing in Asia, is the source of inspiration: delicate, floral, slightly peachy fruity.

An English name for a French company, it is clear that The Different Company strives for unconventionality. This is haute perfumery: not compromising and using high-quality materials yet remaining very comfortable and fresh. The Different Company was founded in 2000 by designer Thierry De Baschmakoff and perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. In 2004, Celine Ellena followed in the footsteps of her father, as the perfumer-creator of The Different Company, who left to become the in-house perfumer at Hermès. Big footsteps to fill, one could argue, but Céline was fit for the challenge and left her signature on the brand. Her second creation, Sel de Vetiver, immediately received a 5 star rating by Chandler Burr, scent critic of The New York Times Magazine.
Floral
Floral fragrances celebrate the delicious scent of flowers, being the richest source of inspiration for perfumers. The use of flowers in perfumes have been used since antiquity; from soft delicate flowers like freesia, muguet and blossoms, to narcotic flowers like jasmine, tuberose and gardenia... Enjoy, and smell the roses!
