Fragonard Secret Absolu is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020. Secret Absolu opens with Bergamot, Cypress, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Amber, Cedar, and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Vetiver, and Oud. Fragonard's Secret Absolu carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Secret Absolu is a dark, leathery woody scent that opens on pepper and cypress and settles into oud, leather and vetiver. It is bold and masculine, and the long base list gives it real weight. A good evening choice for people who like their woods smoky.

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.

About

Secret Absolu opens with pepper, cypress and bergamot, a crisp, aromatic start with a bite of spice. The heart brings cedar, violet leaf and amber, adding dry wood, a green edge and some warmth. The base is deep and rich, with oud, leather, vetiver, patchouli, tonka bean and musk. It reads as a woody, leathery, amber-tinged scent, strong on dark, dry notes and balanced by a little sweetness from the tonka.
