Homme Absolute is a rich, spicy, peppery frag with a single very detectable high note of perhaps an exotic tropical flower. I have a fairly large collection, about 40 EDTs, with a variety of scents, mainly stuff from the 90s.

It is moderate lasting for me and needs a top up spray after 4-5 hours and during this time it projects quite well.Absolute" is now the new niche genre watchword in fragrances meaning watch out, I'm a beast, powerful, strong, built to last, stand the test of time and permeate every nasal passage with pleasure and leisure! Joop Homme Absolute fragrance is an aroma highlighted by a bouquet of fragrant sweet, animal wildlife and white flowers scented tones that will bring a sensual, warm and soothing perfumed sensation. So, all I can say is, if you’ve been let down by its performance at all, try it in hotter weather, especially if you do actually enjoy how it smells.

Not a bad release from Joop, the scent is great, it’s a smoky vanilla that reminds me a little of YSL Opium. I get a peppery, kinda tobaccoey vibe, but a beautiful, beautiful opening, kinda unique as well, at least to my nose. This energetic and catchy overture gives way to the mesmerizing scent Ylang-Ylang, which is more common note in feminine fragrances. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.I guess it's a good thing in a way for people like me who like to enjoy notes like incense and black pepper, but don't want it to scream at everyone and rather enjoy it closely and softly. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. It's a powerful fragrance and the word "Absolute" is not just a clever marketing strategy but a statement of the potency of the aroma.

As the fragrance evolves, the middle notes of ylang-ylang offer a touch of sweetness and sensuality that soften the edges of the scent and make it more inviting.It then moves onto powerful base blend of vetiver, rich and aromatic tonka beans and a hint of precious incense. If you can’t smell this obvious middle note in this fragrance, then it appears that your nose is dislocated, and not mine, as you state.
