Once upon a time ...
A legend tells how a goddess gave a princess an osmanthus because she was moved by the suffering of mankind. The princess was given the power to transform herself into this wonderful flower once a year to ease their pain. The story goes on to say that the princess eventually transformed herself into this flower of well-being for good.
Osmanthus has always been regarded in the East as having heavenly origins and is said to enhance spiritual experiences. Its warm aroma with notes of apricot and other sweet nuances has always evoked pleasant feelings.
