The Secret Absolu

by Ilias Ermenidis , Honorine Blanc

Antonio Banderas The Secret Absolu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Ilias Ermenidis and Honorine Blanc. The Secret Absolu opens with Apple, Ginger, Cardamom, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Lavender, Violet Leaf, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Suede, Cognac, and Amber. Antonio Banderas's The Secret Absolu carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This is a good-value option for those wanting a sweet, smooth scent without breaking the bank, often compared to 1 Million Prive. Some find it forgettable and wish for better performance, but generally, it's considered a solid choice for its price point.

Its sweet and smooth profile, with moderate projection and lacking massive longevity, makes it versatile for casual outings and especially for dates without being overwhelming. While reviewers suggest it's okay for work, its warm, amber-suede base isn't ideal for highly formal or active settings.

About

The Secret Absolu kicks off with a fresh, fruity burst of apple and bergamot, spiced up with ginger and a hint of cardamom. This quickly mellows into a sophisticated heart of lavender, saffron, and a green violet leaf. The dry down is where it truly shines, settling into a rich, warm blend of labdanum, smooth suede, amber and a boozy cognac note, creating a comforting yet alluring trail.
