What does Karus Gold Absolu smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter chosen less often. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office; the character is mostly read as modern, then masculine, while some voters find it feminine. Bujairami Too Damn Good and Maison Asrar Belgravia have a close profile.

It opens with blackcurrant, bergamot and candied lemon, which give a bright, fruity freshness. In the heart, magnolia, jasmine, violet and white blossoms add a soft floral note, while praliné sweetens it and makes it creamy. The base rests on vetiver, cedarwood and oakmoss for a woody footing, softened by tonka bean and musk.
