Absolue Pour le Soir unisex

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on honey, incense and mandarin orange, moves through honey, incense and labdanum, and settles on amber, benzoin and cedar.

• honey: thick golden sweetness that turns slightly animal at higher doses
• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
