Which Should You Buy?
Intuition is a seriously divisive scent. Some find it a bright, sunny amber delight, others get sharp, bitter grapefruit and even a petrol-like weirdness. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works with your chemistry, you're in for a unique, sophisticated treat.
A divisive oriental, Absolu is either a gorgeous resinous dream that's perfect for cosy nights in, or an unbalanced mess that's too sweet, scratchy, and reminiscent of cheap men's cologne. There's no middle ground here, so sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sophisticated amber-floral profile make it suitable for a range of occasions, though some find it quite strong, so a light hand is best for the office. Many reviews highlight its elegant and dressy feel, making it great for dates or formal events, while still retaining a casual charm for everyday wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
While some find Absolu moderate, many find it strong and long-lasting, with its heavy amber and balsamic accords making it unsuitable for office wear. It truly shines in colder weather and is often described as great for dates, evenings out, and cozy at-home wear during autumn and winter.
