What does Absolute Blue smell like?

At the start lavender and mint lead, while rosemary and sage add a green, lightly spicy edge and bergamot carries the citrus. In the heart, neroli, geranium and jasmine soften that freshness, and the base of amber, cedarwood, oakmoss and musk settles into a woody foundation.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear, sport and the office. It reads masculine and classic. Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) and La Rive Distant Wave have a close profile.
