New with box. Absolu Perfume by Rochas, Absolu from Rochas is a tantalizing fragrance for the most sumptuous of occasions. As a rich and sensuous update on a classic oriental scent, this perfume combines balsamic accords with a woodsy, floral core. The fragrance opens with top notes of fig leaves and tangerine, coupling a milky sweetness with a tangy citrus bite. Then come the delicate middle notes, floral flutters of lily, neroli, and rose, all evened out with a soft dash of black pepper. The thick, unctuous notes of incense and benzoin comprise the base, sweetened with the sticky sap of cedar and toluene balm.
