What does Beautiful Absolu smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. It reads as a feminine perfume.
It opens with rose, pot marigold, tuberose, orange and lily. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, orange blossom and lily of the valley carry the floral theme on. Vetiver, sandalwood and amber in the base soften it and finish it on a sweet warmth. Estēe Lauder Beautiful (Eau de Toilette) and The Body Shop Jasmine & White Frangipani have a close profile.
