Violet & Amber Absolu

You read every crazy thing around here, I know that each nose is different and tastes are subjective, to say that this does not have violet is crazy, the ionone is present in almost the entire first hour of the fragrance, even later in its development it is felt in the background perfectly, also as I always say we cannot value a fragrance by one spray or having a simple decant that will hardly give us enough to wear it properly (I wear at least 6 sprays of whatever, in many cases more than 10) also the prices influence and this Jo Malone perfume is one of the most expensive I have seen from the brand although I have not really investigated in depth. This is a beautiful and well-blended fragrance, it's incredible how Anne Flipo achieved a perfect blend of two notes that for me are opposites and not because they can't coexist together but because one would devour the other, in this case the oud, a strong and intense note but that here and as the house has accustomed us, is not at all risky, an oud very easy to wear, very western (although the composition is amber oriental) that blends beautifully with this note of ethereal violet , velvety and slightly sweet with powdery traces, all this feels a bit dry, here there are no traces of humid oud and even less animalistic, little by little the composition shows its amber side and sweetens slightly and also shows very but very little smoky tones, the violet and the oud never disappear, they let the amber (not one of the most complicated also) come and go as it pleased but it does not steal the protagonism. The performance is not outstanding, that can be blamed, especially considering its price, but in the first hour of application it is perfectly perceived and gradually decreases until it reaches 4 to 5 hours, I think that in closed spaces It could have better performance and logically in temperatures that are not extremely cold but not warm either, it can be perfect for transitional stages of autumn or spring. I have only used it twice, both times in closed spaces. Later, perhaps I will update its behavior, but knowing the extremely hot climate of my country, I know that the heat will devour it before reaching 3 hours.

I made an account simply to defend this scent as it's gotten a lot of poor reviews. I find this scent to be the perfect blend of being objectively clean while being incredibly unique. I haven't found anything quite like it, and I think the dry-off is what made me buy two bottles of it. It's masculine (with the oud and amber) with just the right amount of floral/powder where it stays neutral leaning masculine. I've chosen it as my wedding scent for our wedding. My fiance loves it. I love it. I don't know if I recommend the blind buy at the price point, but again, I love this so much I got 2 bottles of it and have no regrets!

What a luxurious smell - I thought when someone sprayed it in the air at my local Douglas. I loved it from the first moment and almost bathed in it when I was testing the fragrance myself. I could then smell it on my clothes for days. A scent of candied violets on a dry oud base, with some good quality amber added. All of that blended very well. I like the ombré glass bottle, too. It’s a pity it is so crazy expensive!

This is like JM Rose & White Musk crossed with Parco Palladiano IX: Violetta by Bottega Veneta, where the rose is replaced by violet. Really love this. Contrary to most JM products, this really lasts; it’s been almost 24hrs and the scent still lingers on my pj. The silage is probably about arms length radius. The things I hate about this is the high price and the difficulty in obtaining it.

To my nose i get loads of violet and amber with oud. I dont get other floral notes thank goodness. I used to love versace essence ethereal (parma violet sweets in a bottle) but alas got discontinued. This is like this had a baby with oud wood. Im loving it. The violet stays all through the dry down and 6 hrs in im still getting wafts of it.
