Guerlain Les Absolus d'Orient Patchouli Ardent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Thierry Wasser. Les Absolus d'Orient Patchouli Ardent opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Fig, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Leather. Guerlain's Les Absolus d'Orient Patchouli Ardent carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your usual patchouli. It's a loud, complex rose-leather bomb that some adore and others find a bit much. A high-quality oriental for those who like to make a statement.

About

Opens with an earthy, spicy kick of black and pink pepper, soon joined by the green, slightly sweet aroma of fig. As it settles, a rich, almost jammy rose emerges, intertwined with a clean, slightly woody patchouli. The dry down introduces a luxurious leather and warm cedar, all cushioned by a soft, animalic musk, creating a dense and long-lasting oriental accord.
