Absolu (EDP)

"Absolu is a rich oriental-woody Eau de Parfum introduced by Rochas in 2002. Its opening combines bright mandarin orange with the green, slightly milky character of fig leaf. The heart develops into a floral arrangement of orange blossom, lily, and rose, sharpened by pepper. Benzoin, tolu balsam, labdanum, and cedar create a warm, balsamic, resinous base. The overall character is elegant, distinctive, and softly ambery rather than aggressively loud. Absolu has become particularly appreciated by enthusiasts of discontinued and vintage fragrances."
