Why it’s here: Close to the Absolu's structure: lemon, black currant and bergamot up top, a praline and violet heart, and a musk and vetiver base.
Key difference: Adds magnolia and uses candied lemon, and our notes have no cedar or amber, so it is a little softer and more floral in the dry down.
Inspired By
Why it’s here: Shares the bright bergamot and black currant opening and a vetiver and musk base, giving the same citrusy, fruity, woody-musk lift.
Key difference: Uses freesia and lily of the valley instead of praline and violet, so it is fresher and less gourmand than the Absolu.
