The main notes include leather, smoke, and vetiver. The lasting power is 5 – 7 hours with moderate projection. Now, to the previously mentioned secret about this scent, and why it makes it even better in my humble opinion. Is it? Meh, the dirty leather and patchouli, don’t have the same level of gasoline smell, to my nose. Plus, the violet leaf is noticeably missing. So, not really. But considering my constitution, I shit on conventions and feel, taste and smell what my heart desires.

Season-wise, this is a cold-weather fragrance thought and thought. Because of moderate performance, and heavier statement-making notes, the funky side would become more evident in case of higher temperatures. Most of their releases for more than a full decade now, especially since creative director Tom Ford left the house, all boiled down to bland and fresh releases, pleasing to the masses, but uninteresting to perfume hobbyists.

I, the shy deer, stopped in the cone of light of your temperament. Your smile makes me crumble into hoarfrost and dance passionately and gracefully in the wind at the same time. The antiseptic, and band-aid-like scent profile is here as well but is better experienced when smelled rather than reading or hearing about it.

After the successful collaboration, Alberto Morillas has been appointed as the main perfumer of Gucci’s high-end niche line “ The Alchemist’s Garden“. Regarding the potential compliments, Absolute is a fragrance suited more for personal enjoyment, and towards an experienced audience that enjoys more artistic perfumes. I knew nothing about this formulation, going into the wear, and really wasn’t expecting something like this to come out of a Gucci Guilty fragrance. But, I like it. With that said, I highly doubt anyone would wear Absolute on warmer days of spring and summer where heavy leathery and woody notes might give you or people around you a potential headache. Thus, in all time I spent time wearing this fragrance I haven’t received a positive comment, but this one is my best friend’s favorite fragrance of all time.The leather with the vetiver or when the cypress comes in for the final dry down, is great. Dark, smooth, with freshness, and warmth. I have another scent from the Gucci Guilty line, that I am going to post a review of in the very near future, but I wanted to get this one out first.

Is this a super easy to wear mass appealing scent? Not really. It’s not going to appeal to every guy’s taste, but it is attractive, and will pull complements from a certain number of people.
