What does Knot Eau Absolue smell like?
Lavender and orange blossom open it, jasmine sits in the heart, and opoponax anchors the base. The floral accord leads, softened by sweet, creamy tones, while the spicy, woody and resinous sides give it an oriental depth and a slightly smoky dry-down.
Longevity and sillage are rated strong and good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn most often for evenings and nights out. Voters mostly read it as feminine, with a classic streak. Yves Saint Laurent Opium (2009) and Estēe Lauder Cinnabar (2015) have a close profile.
