Which Should You Buy?
L'Absolu is a divisive femme fatale floral, a dark and seductive spin on the classic Narciso musk. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many mourning its discontinuation while others find it too challenging.
Run for the hills. This is not just bad, it's 'grandpa who hasn't showered' bad. Massively polarising, and not in a good way.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold and intense floral-musk profile, often described as 'sexy' or 'seductive,' makes it too overwhelming for polite office wear, but perfect for dates and evening events. While some find it deeply comforting, its strong sillage and 'vampy' nature lean away from everyday casual use.
Seasons
Occasions
Given the reviews describe this as 'offensive' and akin to an unscented individual, it's highly inappropriate for any occasion. The dominant musky and animalic accords suggest it would be far too intrusive for most settings.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Musky, Powdery, White Floral accords and Jasmine, Patchouli notes
