Osma

Blending 000%

Scent, made visible.

Osma composes perfume in small batches from flowers, resins and woods, and shows you how each one comes together.

Twelve hours in copper.

Petals go into the still at dawn. Steam carries their oil up and through the coil, and it comes out drop by drop.

Small batches, slow hands.

Every perfume starts as raw material we distil or tincture in the atelier, then rests for eleven weeks before it meets a bottle. Nothing is rushed to fill a shelf.

Questions

How long does a perfume last on skin?

Six to eight hours for Iris Hour and Salt Cedar, closer to ten for Night Vanilla, whose base notes are heavier. Skin, weather and how much you apply all change it.

Are the perfumes vegan?

Yes. We use no animal materials; the musk and ambrette notes come from plants and from molecules made in the lab.

Do you ship outside the EU?

To the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway, with duties shown at checkout. Perfume is flammable, so some carriers limit where it can fly.

Can I return an opened bottle?

Start with the discovery set if you are unsure. Unopened bottles can be returned within 30 days; opened ones only if they arrived damaged.
