About

Rose Absolue kicks off with a jammy, almost velveteen rose that quickly becomes entangled with the rich, smoky embrace of oud and warm amber. As it settles, a spicy, peppery kick emerges, sharpened by a whisper of saffron, adding an intriguing, almost leathery depth. It's a complex, evolving scent, moving from floral warmth to a dry and subtly animalic finish.
