About

Absolute Man blasts off with a peppery, zesty citrus punch from mandarin and grapefruit, invigorating and sharp. This bright opening mellows into a surprisingly soft, green heart of lily of the valley and violet leaf, offering a clean, airy lift. The dry down introduces a warm, slightly sweet amber and vanilla, grounded by woody notes and a hint of tonka, culminating in a gentle, fresh finish.
