Les Absolus d'Orient Oud Essentiel

Les Absolus d'Orient Oud Essentiel from Guerlain, created by Thierry Wasser in 2017, is a dark, woody oud with incense and leather. Wood leads, with spice, flowers, resin, amber and leather in equal support.

Its notes are listed as one blend. Agarwood gives a deep, resinous, slightly medicinal wood, and cedar a dry backbone. Frankincense and olibanum add a smoky, peppery incense, while saffron brings a warm, leathery spice. Rose softens the composition with a rich floral note, and leather adds a smooth, slightly smoky texture that ties the whole together.

This is a powerful fragrance by its wearers' accounts: longevity is described as eternal or long lasting, and the trail as strong. It is voted for winter and autumn and strongly favoured for night. Worn by anyone, it suits formal evenings and cold weather, applied sparingly, for someone who enjoys smoky oud and incense.
