Criminally undervalued and underrated imho!!!!! This is listed as a woman’s frag but I call it 55/45. Warm sweet woody spicy boozy and resinous sound bad to you? Me either!!!!! Try this and let it evolve over 8-12 hours. Does this project 100 yards? No. 1 yard/meter. It’s softer than interlude man and rounded dare I say, better???? Sillage is great leaving a wonderful trail. What say you? Have you tried this and truly given it a honest wear????

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
