Aquila Absolute
Aquila Absolute by Electimuss is an unisex extrait de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with cardamom and raspberry, moves into rose and geranium and dries down to leather, patchouli, labdanum, oud and violet leaf. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
