From your scent profile
Trudon Absolu is a unisex scent that opens with saffron, cardamom and mandarin orange, moves through orange blossom absolute and frankincense, and rests on cedar and gaiac wood.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

What does Absolu smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, while summer sits well behind. It leans towards leisure and daytime wear, and is also seen as suitable for evenings and the office.
The opening pairs the spicy warmth of saffron and cardamom with the citrus of mandarin. In the heart, orange blossom, frankincense and iris give a floral, powdery feel. Cedar, gaiac wood and tonka bean lay down a woody base with a little sweetness and a creamy texture. The overall impression is fresh and slightly green.
