Because the water content of flowers is high, the more volatile essential oil there is, so we can easily smell the flowers. When dried flowers are dehydrated or dried, it is naturally impossible to release fragrance particles through liquid volatilization, so we are not easy to smell. Shake the dried flowers near the nose, and you can still smell something, because some fragments have been shaken off and floated into our nostrils.
Soak fresh osmanthus in a big box with mineral water (half a catty of fresh osmanthus). Take out osmanthus fragrans, wash it with mineral water several times, control the water, and manually arrange dead flowers and pedicels. Put it in the oven to dry and take it out to cool.
Pick off the dead flowers and pedicels of fresh osmanthus fragrans, wash them with clear water and control the moisture. Find a clean gauze, pour osmanthus on the gauze, and prepare to bake it in the microwave oven.
