The opening notes of Absolu are the feminine, citrus scents of tangerine and fig. Building on these sharper notes, the perfume blossoms with floral scents of lily, neroli and rose spiced with a hint of black pepper. Underlying the delicate citrus and floral top notes are oriental base notes of incense and benzoin layered with woodsy cedar and fragrant, fresh extracts from the fresh, sweet-scented Tolu balsam.
