ROSE Absolue

The rose is so rich and full-bodied, but that fruity brightness on top keeps it from feeling heavy at all. I sprayed it on my wrist this morning and hours later the amber and soft woods are still lingering beautifully.

The amber and woods really anchor the rose so it doesn’t turn powdery or sharp on my skin—lasts through a full workday easily. That citrus sparkle at the top gives it a lift that makes it feel less heavy than most florals this rich.

The first spray hits with a bright citrus sparkle that settles into the richest rose absolute I’ve tried, and the amber base keeps it warm for hours. I keep catching whiffs of it on my scarf days later and it still smells full, not faded.
