Absolue pour le Soir
Absolue pour le Soir by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is an unisex eau de parfum from 2009 in the luxury price tier. It opens with cumin, moves into honey, labdanum and rose and dries down to amber and vanilla. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
Heart
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
