Alive Absolu

While waiting to pick up my order at Notino, without any major expectations I went to smell some of random perfumes. Nothing moved me until I came across this. Wow. Leather and smokiness, patchouli not earthy, but giving a smoky effect. And a slight sweetness, but not enough to make this scent stop being dry. To my nose, it's an elegant scent for a woman pursuing a professional career. Not at all what I like on a daily basis and suits my personality, but it drew me in so much that after successful tests with samples, I'm currently waiting for a full size bottle to be delivered ❤️

Ooh this is a beautiful warm leather scent! If you dont like leather this might not be for you as its the first note that hits you. I feel like it fades a little bit after some hours, but still smell the leather note. The vanilla note resembles Kayali vanilla 28 vanilla, like real vanilla extract that makes it warm and a bit spicy. Gorgeous blend actually. Its different and interesting. Is it the best I’ve ever smelled, probably not. But I think its worth a try! I imagine this could layer beautiful with most vanilla/cashmere/wood scents ! It was beautiful with vanilla 28 ❤️

Jummy !!! This is my new favorite winter fragrance. So well balanced with no unpleasant extremities. This fragrance is gorgeous, pure festivities, pure luxurious comfort. I'm in love with alive absolu ❤️🌟❤️ Als o excellent quality fragrance. Very long lasting

»what the hell is this opening?« was my first thought as soon as i smelled whatever i had sprayed on myself. reminded me of Angel by Mugler that had gone bad. however, as 15 minutes passed, it had developed into an elegant, seductive and classic scent, best suitable for sophisticated winter evenings, spent in a long sleek black dress. the leather and the wood give this fragrance a masculine touch to its otherwise feminine character. one does not have to love it to admit that it is interesting nonetheless.

The opening of this is beautiful. Then it dries down and starts to smell a bit like leather and rubber. Ideal scent for a visit to a BDSM venue...maybe not for weekday wearing to work. However, I think it could be softened with layering of other scents. I’ll need to try it out. The performance is great - it’s bold and it lasts a decent time. Not an immediate love, but they’re not all winners straight out the gate.
