Longevity 10, sillage 9: one spray, and keep it for the evening rather than the office or a crowded commute. Honey leads at 92, the animalic accord follows at 82 — autumn and winter, never a warm day. The cumin opening is the demanding stretch; benzoin and incense in the base make the rest easier to carry. Reads unisex, the rose and ylang-ylang heart holding back the masculine side.

Not rated yet — be the firstThe most extreme thing the house has released, and the most divisive. Honey is used without softening and pushed by cumin into frankly bodily territory, before incense and benzoin close it on a resinous, woody base. Nothing here is clean in the usual sense: it smells of skin rather than of perfume, dense, very long-lasting and easy to catch across a room. Its daytime counterpart, Absolue Pour le Matin, is the bright version of the same idea.
