This is a timeless, elegant fragrance that feels both classic and modern.

Encyclopedia Insights
How does this Absolue Parfum differ from the original Eau de Toilette?+
The Absolue Parfum is a more concentrated version with a higher oil content, resulting in richer florals and a creamier, longer-lasting base. The original's aldehydic sparkle is softened, and the sandalwood and musk are more prominent.
Is this fragrance suitable for daytime wear?+
While it can be worn during the day, its richness and sillage make it especially suited for evening events, formal occasions, or cooler weather. A light application works for daytime.
How long does the Absolue Parfum last on skin?+
Expect 8-10 hours of longevity with moderate to strong projection. The floral notes linger beautifully, and the base stays close to the skin for hours.
