Al Absar Red Sugar is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026.

This gourmand is a sweet treat that requires patience, literally. If you can wait for the alcohol note to dissipate, you'll be rewarded with a sugary, fruity experience that's both comforting and undeniably charming, often compared to popular sweet scents.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its sweet and fruity gourmand profile lends itself well to casual and date settings, providing a comforting and inviting aura. While not overpowering in projection, its sweetness might be a bit much for a formal setting, but some reviewers even enjoy it for the gym due to its closer-to-skin nature.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Red Sugar opens with a boozy splash of rum and juicy pear, quickly melting into a marshmallow-vanilla cloud that's almost edible. A creamy sandalwood and delicate violet leaf emerge in the heart, preventing it from tipping into pure confectionery. The base rounds out with a warm, slightly earthy blend of tonka, patchouli, and cashmeran, giving it an elevated depth that keeps it from feeling juvenile.
