What does Absolue Pour le Soir (2024) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evenings or nights out; summer and daytime wear stay in the background. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though it is made as a unisex scent.

The resinous, woody warmth of amber and labdanum dominates. Vanilla and rose honey add a sweet, gourmand softness, while cumin brings a spicy, slightly animalic edge. The oriental character runs throughout. Givenchy Ambre Tigré and Jo Malone Amber Labdanum have a close profile.
