What does Uomo Absolute smell like?

The top is lemon, cardamom, Calabrian bergamot and mint, so the opening is fresh, citrusy and lightly spiced. In the heart, cedar, sage and vetiver pull the scent in a woody, aquatic direction. The base of amberwood, musk and vanilla softens that freshness into a sweet, resinous warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the vote count is small, so the ratings are only a rough guide. With its fresh, woody build it sits close to everyday wear. Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria and Chanel Bleu de Chanel (Eau de Parfum) have a similar profile.
