This is a Dua Hybrid of their original creation Honey Havane and their version of Ormand Jayne Montabacco. They nailed this one! I am a fan of Ormand Jayne Montabacco, its a fresh airy, minerally, tea, floral with tobacco, leather and some animalic funk in the base. It sounds crazy but it works and there is not much out there like it. This hybrid takes that dna and adds, honey, cocoa, musk, amber and vanilla. This is not a gourmand, the Montabacco dna keeps it from going there. There is nothing crazy or divisive about this one. it can be work casually or to the office or a day time semi formal event.

So many of the brothers have been rocking this gem lately, so I decided to give it another wear. Released last year Absolu has taken the Original Bottled dna, added some fruity elements and magnified it. This is a more refined version, it's rich, dark & deep. I would honestly believe its the best in the entire line, and I own quite a few now. This is as close to beast mode as Boss have ever been. I like this so much it has managed to slide into my top 10 as a new entry at no 5. It opens up with crisp Apple & a juicy plum note which is ballanced with a warm cinnamon to great effect. That initial sweetness that this fragrances revolves around is that plum note, which gives a beautiful sweetness. The mid notes introduce a leather accord, which stands out well. Patchouli & myrrh add some depth. The dry down reveals a rich blend of sandalwood, musk & cedarwood/amber, which give it a warm, woody character. on occassion im also picking up on a touch of smoky incense. Performance is something else here. Whilst some of its siblings fall short here, Absolu will have your back for the best part of the day, were talking up to 12 hours here. Good projection with a nice scent bubble too. Definitly a colder weather, night time, date night scent. My Rating 9/10 Scent 3 Longevity 2.5 Sillage 2.5 Y/N 1
