What does Untold Absolu smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings, nights out and daily wear all in the mix. Most see it as feminine and classic.
The top opens with ginger, Italian bergamot, red plum and black raspberry, a fruity start. In the heart, rose water, jasmine and narcissus build a floral body. The base keeps the sweetness going with Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin, while cashmere wood adds a woody depth.
