What does Absolute Man (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and may need reapplying through the day. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind and winter the least chosen. About half of voters find it masculine, and most of the rest call it modern.
It opens with mandarin orange, grapefruit and black pepper, a bright citrus start with a light spicy edge. The heart brings violet leaf, lily of the valley and energy drink, adding a fruity, synthetic freshness. In the dry-down, tonka bean, vanilla and amberwood sweeten it and settle it onto a woody base.
