What does Noir Absolu smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, then spring, and it is worn most for leisure and daily use, with business a fair fit too. Voters read its character as masculine and modern.

It opens with bergamot and lime for a bright citrus start, with green apple, lavender and geranium in the heart. In the base, cedarwood, patchouli, tonka bean and amber pull it towards a sweet, spicy, powdery and woody finish. Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
