Antonio Banderas King of Seduction Absolute is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. King of Seduction Absolute opens with Pomelo, Grapefruit, Almond, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Lavender, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Antonio Banderas's King of Seduction Absolute carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This budget-friendly aquatic offers a splash of citrus and marine freshness with a subtle, leather-tinged depth. While critics bemoan its fleeting presence, for the price, it just keeps seducing new fans with its clean, modern aroma.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a zesty burst of pomelo and grapefruit, King of Seduction Absolute quickly ushers in a cool, salty sea breeze, enhanced by aromatic lavender and a hint of green almond. As it settles, a soft, earthy vetiver and oakmoss ground the composition, with a whisper of dry leather lending a mature edge to the fresh aquatic core.
