WoodyWhat does V Absolu smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters place it mostly on nights out, evenings and daily wear, and it also works at the office. It reads as a feminine fragrance.
It opens with grapefruit, mandarin orange and fig, fresh and fruity. Orange blossom, rose and heliotrope bring a soft floral heart. Bourbon vanilla, cedar and sandalwood close it on a sweet, woody warmth.
