The scent of the osmanthus blossom is one of nature's rare fragrances that are hard to ignore in autumn. The tiny little flowers not only smell pleasant but also taste delightful as they are infused with tea as well as preserved in wine and jams, and used as ingredients in many other types of foods and drinks.
