For some people the smell of kinmokusei is intrinsically linked to the toilet and more foul smelling places, simply because the flower (with its powerful fragrance) acted as an early and cheap form of air freshenerπŸ’©πŸ‘ƒπŸ˜«πŸŒΏπŸ™Œβœ¨

There are actually 3 varieties of 'mokusei' (ζœ¨ηŠ€ 'sweet olives'): kinmokusei (ι‡‘ζœ¨ηŠ€ osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus), the less fragrant ginmokusei (ιŠ€ζœ¨ηŠ€ osmanthus fragrans var. fragrans), and the much less common usugimokusei (θ–„ι»„ζœ¨ηŠ€ osmanthus fragrans var. thunbergii).
