ExtraitMen
The Story
Platinum Edition Absolu is a rich, intense take on the original, crafted by Nathalie Lorson. It opens with a burst of fresh grapefruit and spicy pink pepper, then settles into a warm heart of lavender and saffron. The base is a deep, woody blend of cedar, sandalwood, and amber, with a touch of leather. This is a confident, sophisticated scent for evening wear.
