Before sunrise, the white, star-like blossoms of Egyptian Jasmine Grandiflorum are hand-picked from fields near the Nile Delta. The delicate flowers are laid in palm-branch boxes, allowing them to breathe on their journey to becoming our Jasmine Absolute.
This abstraction of thousands of petals has an unmistakable scent that builds from stem-like and alive, to dense, sensuous and warm – almost carnal.
Ostens was born from our desire to create beautiful fragrances, using the world's finest ingredients in their purest form.
Inspired by the beauty of raw materials, we asked our perfumers only one thing: to use those ingredients as the jumping-off point to start their creativity. We asked them to let their imaginations run free. There was no limit to their creativity – no restrictive creative brief, no specific gender, no costs limitations.
The results of this are our beautiful fragrances, each an authentic expression of talent and creativity unleashed.
