What does Fahrenheit Absolute smell like?

It opens with myrrh, violet and aromatic notes. Frankincense and leather form the heart, and oud with oriental notes sits in the base. The overall impression is sweet, resinous and smoky, with earthy and animal touches that make it warm and heavy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer is rarely chosen. Evening and night out lead the occasions, and most voters see it as masculine, with some calling it classic. Neil Morris Fragrances Fetish and Tigha The Dark Side have a close profile.
