Absolutio

Absolutio presents a rich, warm, spiced gourmand with strong ties to Baccarat Rouge 540 and Oud for Greatness, though it is not a direct clone. It opens with a distinct toffee-like sweetness tinged with cinnamon, saffron, and almond, creating a vibrant, almost medicinal cherry note that some describe as reminiscent of syrup or candy. The core of the fragrance is a persistent, layered sweetness—caramel, dark chocolate, and apple—that interacts with a woody, driftwood base and dry, herbal oakmoss. As it dries down, a saline, ambergris-tinged musk lingers, adding a strikingly effervescent, almost salty freshness that enhances its uniqueness. The fragrance performs strongly, with moderate to long-lasting sillage and longevity, making it feel substantial and well-blended, especially in cool or winter conditions. Its vibe is unisex, and it shines best during evening wear, particularly in colder seasons, where the spiced amber sweetness unfolds gracefully under the dark, slightly metallic undertones. While many find it beautifully crafted and refined, others perceive the sweetness and resinous depth as overwhelming or overly sweet, with some reporting allergic reactions or a sickly, medicinal feeling akin to cherry cough syrup. The fragrance stands out not only for its character but also for its polarizing effect on skin, which varies significantly between individuals.
