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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and warm balance, make it suitable for a wide range of settings. Reviewers note its year-round versatility, though some advise against overspraying in warmer weather due to the prominent woody notes, slightly lowering its formal and sport scores.

About

Absolute opens with a bright and zesty burst of lemon and crisp apple, softened by the aromatic touch of lavender and a hint of spicy pink pepper. The heart introduces a sophisticated floral blend of iris and violet leaf, balanced by the fresh green nuances of geranium and a warm, earthy whisper of cardamom. As it settles, a smooth foundation of creamy vanilla, rugged oak, and deep cedar emerges, rounded out by a comforting amber embrace.
