U ££££ Acquired

Champaca Absolute

Tom Ford Champaca Absolute is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Champaca Absolute opens with Cognac, Broom, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, Orchid, and Champaca, and dries down to a base of Marron Glace, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Tom Ford's Champaca Absolute carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Tom Ford's Champaca Absolute is a divisive, discontinued masterpiece. Lovers adore its unique, intoxicating yellow floral aroma, while detractors find it sickly sweet, powdery, or even unpleasant. Prepare for a bold statement - this isn't for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it are utterly enchanted.

Its potent projection and syrupy floral character mean it's too 'loud' for most office settings, as many reviewers attest. However, its bold, sensual nature makes it a fantastic choice for dates and special occasions. Casual wear is appropriate for those who love to make a statement, especially in cooler weather.

About

Champaca Absolute opens with a boozy splash of cognac and a subtle green freshness, swiftly ushering in a lush heart of champaca, jasmine, orchid, and violet. This opulent, slightly 'banana-like' yellow floral bouquet rests on a warm, sweet base of creamy sandalwood, rich vanilla, amber, and a distinct marron glace nuttiness. It's a complex, sweet, and profoundly floral journey with a woody, powdery finish.
