Osmanthus heralds the arrival of autumn. Its unique sweet scent provides a moment of relaxation in the midst of busy days. We have carefully selected osmanthus items with a scent close to that of real osmanthus, perfect for both personal use and as gifts.
The meaning behind giving osmanthus as a gift
The osmanthus has long been a beloved symbol of autumn, but its popularity isn't just due to its fragrance. The flower language of the osmanthus includes "gratitude," "first love," and "ecstasy." It's the perfect flower to give as a gift to someone special, to express your gratitude or secret feelings.
The sweet scent of osmanthus also has a relaxing effect. It is recommended when you want to convey encouragement to someone who is feeling tired from daily work, housework, childcare, studying, club activities, etc. by saying, "You're always working hard, thank you for your hard work!"
How to choose a gift with the scent of osmanthus
When giving an osmanthus-scented item as a gift, keep the following three points in mind when making your selection.
Choose what suits your tastes and lifestyle
The most important thing when choosing a gift is to choose an item that the recipient will be happy to receive. Since what makes people happy varies from person to person, choose something that suits the recipient's preferences and lifestyle.
For example, the key is to choose items that allow you to clearly imagine when and how you will use them, such as hair care products like shampoo and hair oil for people who take good care of their hair, perfumes and skin care products for people who like to dress up when going out, and room fragrances for people who like to relax at home.
Choose by fragrance quality
There are many products labeled as "fragrant osmanthus scented," but be careful as the quality of the scent varies. In the case of osmanthus in particular, people tend to prefer a natural scent that is closer to the real thing rather than a strong scent that lasts all day.
The most reliable way is to check the scent of a tester in a store, but when choosing an osmanthus item from an online shop, you can avoid making a mistake by carefully reading the product page and reviews to make sure it has the scent you want.
Choose by budget
The amount you spend on a gift will depend on your relationship with the recipient, the length of your relationship, the occasion, etc. Avoid giving gifts that are far above average, as they are likely to make the recipient feel uncomfortable. Please refer to the table below for average prices for birthday gifts.
| relationship | Budget range |
| Family (parents, siblings, etc.) | Approximately 3,000 to 10,000 yen |
| Lover/Spouse | Approximately 5,000 to 30,000 yen |

| Colleagues and juniors | Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 yen |
