What does Myslf L'Absolu smell like?

It suits daily wear, leisure and the office; most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, with winter trailing behind. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters mostly read it as masculine and modern.

The top is citrus and spice: bergamot brings freshness, cardamom and ginger add warmth. In the heart, orange blossom adds a sweet, creamy floral note, and patchouli lays a woody base underneath. The overall impression sits between fresh and sweet, with a slightly synthetic edge.
