From the unjustly unsung house of Rochas comes yet another classic for women who are not afraid of their sensuality: Absolu. Like a high priestess of some ancient cult, this feminine potion of mystery is immersed in the smoky trail of incense via the liturgical notes of frankincense and benzoin. But the lapping of floral notes and the dry opening provide the necessary balance, shifting it far off the ecclesiastical and into the boudoir. The final notes of powdery warmth radiate from the skin for hours on end. Sumptuous…

Review of Absolu by Naomi Zentmyer
This is a fragrance that has many layers which adds to it's enjoyment in wearing. The first layer is bright, sharp with an indication of the depth of the fragrance that unfolds hour by hour. I love this fragrance, I only wish it had more staying power. I will look to see if Rochas makes a perfume in ABSOLU.

Review of Absolu by Kathy Morris
This was an unsniffed purchase that I got for a song (thank goodness I didn't spend much!). Reading the notes, it sounded like a holy grail type scent for me (I usually love orientals), but once again, my chemistry wreaked havoc with this fragrance. I love the cinnamon/orange note, but it becomes too musky the longer I wear it.

Review of Absolu by Megh Josh
Thank you Rochas for showing me that oriental can be fresh at the same time. I have been searching for a scent like Absolu for the longest time, a scent which will be sensual but not too overpowering and sweet. A friend of mine called one of my favourite perfumes "an old ladies' perfume" and I was, like, she is so right. Maybe it's my age or a phase I'm going through but really strong spicy oriental scents that I like so much are starting to be too much for me. This one though is perfect, a perfect ten. At first it is a little aggressive (it's that darn orange) but as minutes go by, it becomes better and better. The middle note is all flowers with some pepper (i can't seem to find a perfume which DOESN'T have pepper in it). Anyway, it ends with something soft and ambery that is simply bewitching. The perfection for me is that, although bewitching, it remains clean and fresh at all times. You know how sometimes all orientals smell alike when they dry down to their base notes? Absolu is not like that, it gets better and better as time passes.

Review of Absolu by Mags Pat
This is a pretty good scent - oriental but not too overpowering like the most of orientals. Warm but not too sweet. With the right chemistry could be very nice. Not too much vanilla like in the most of other contemporary orientals. My husbandt thinks it has some citrusy notes that he doesn't like, but I think those are some peppery notes,so popular in recently perfumes that I don't enjoy. So I give it 3 stars of 5, for somebody else it could be 5 of 5... I think it could be very good for a winter perfume.

Review of Absolu by Mansi Bhatt
A woman at the shop let me try this on the other day. It's sweet, warm, good quality and long lasting. Not really for me, but definitily something I would like to smell on my mum (middle aged women).
