CreamyWhat does Absolute Shadow smell like?
Almond leads the opening, and almond blossom and orange blossom give the heart a soft floral touch. The base brings vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and musk, and the scent settles into a creamy sweetness with a woody, powdery warmth. Spicy and oriental touches keep that sweetness from reading as plain confection. Jeanne Arthes Guipure & Silk and Acca Kappa Vaniglia Fior di Mandorlo have a close profile.
