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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

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

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

About

Absolute Woman opens with a bright burst of citrus and sweet, juicy litchi, blackberry and grapefruit, given a slight edge by pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a floral bouquet of jasmine, rose, and orange blossom, warmed by marigold. It settles into a soft, woody base of patchouli, oakmoss, amber, and vanilla, offering a comforting, slightly powdery drydown.
