Tonka

Citrus and ylang make this tropical, but not beachy. A creamy yellow floral with a huge tonka accord in the drydown. I enjoy this combo; it's laid back & easy going. Definitely ticks toward feminine, but that heavy tonka *I think* makes this possibly unisex.

Here I go again with comparisons, but calls to mind frags like Keiko Mecheri Un Jour d'Ete, Kenzo's World Power, and even Bvlgari Goldea. Has this great salted skin feel, like I've spent all day in the sun. Lasts ages. Did I mention the tonka?!

sunny warm disposition

Pear and tuberose are definitely not among my favorite ingredients. I actually downright hate pear.
I don't know exactly what happened here, but I LIKE Signature Absolue. I even have to raise my rating. The more I wear it, the more I like it. I also liked Signature Eau de Parfum, but that has nothing to do with this flanker.

Absolue is a tuberose cream underlined by tonka, beautifully fruity, soft with a certain twist; the pear does not stand out, those fine fruity sprinkles that I like so much probably come more from ylang-ylang combined with mandarin. The tuberose here is not the typical sweet gum-like scent but rather very subtle. I don't smell any cucumber (as sometimes mentioned here) at all.

With cedar and amber in the base, it gets a stable foundation from which the fragrance is carried through the many exciting phases of its development. The sweetness decreases over time, it becomes softer and warmer, almost embracingly beautiful and cozy. The fruity sprinkles can still be smelled beautifully much later on.
The scent is continuously creamy-soft like a body butter that gently spreads around you as an aura.
Absolue is a sunny-warm floral-fruity fragrance that conveys a cheerful impression overall.
However, at over 20°, it is too much for me, and you shouldn't overspray Signature Absolue, as it can quickly become annoying, even for those around you; the sillage should not be underestimated. It radiates quite a bit but leaves behind a wonderfully sweet fruity scent in the room. Beautiful enough to make you kneel.
No blind buy - definitely test beforehand!
All in all, a really beautiful fragrance - one should not expect it to smell like Signature Eau de Parfum, but those who are not set in their ways and like tuberose will enjoy this scent.

Creamy and Powdery

Should I or shouldn't I... I kept asking myself this question while walking back and forth the whole time. The scent constantly changed on my skin, and I was curious to see how it would develop further. After half an hour, only a creamy, powdery fragrance remained from the fruity beginning. And yet, I bought it. Personally, I miss the sweetness afterwards, but with other fragrances, I miss the powdery aspect. So I will combine this scent with another one. Because the longevity of this fragrance is really good.

Review without a catchy title

I was definitely there to try it out 5 times before I bought it. For me, the Signature Original was nothing, as that Solero ice cream note, which is initially so beautiful, also left a sticky sweetness that I didn't like.
Signature Absolue has a non-listed - but detected by many - melon-cucumber note. And that was the argument FOR this fragrance for me. After extensive testing, as I said, I bought it. But now I can also understand the reservations of many Original fans.
A sprayer of Absolue on the arm was fine, however when you apply it seriously - and I am truly not Team-Overspray - my goodness, it is then exhausting.. It indeed has something 90s about it.. Between one spray and 4, there are worlds with this scent. It becomes too much for me and I would feel uncomfortable going to the office with this fragrance - out of concern for disturbing my colleagues.
And at the same time, it is also somehow beautiful... So for those who, like me, hesitated - I would actually advise against it.. If you are into 90s florals, please go for it. There probably won't be many who wear this fragrance...
As for the description: it is indeed fresh, in a melon-floral way. Very dominant florals are present - the flowers are very homogeneously blended. The drydown remains floral. I perceive the sillage as strong. The price-performance ratio is definitely given here. And if you are into this kind of thing, it's a bullseye. I like it too much to sell it - but somehow I also don't like to spray it on.. Therefore, I couldn't think of a good title for this review....

Much more exotic and stronger than the original one, here ylang-ylang is the main player. Perfect for hot weather, good value.

Completely different from the original but incredibly amazing. Creamy-sweet tuberose dream! Great for spring/summer. Longevity is so-so. Must try!

Tonka-infused tuberose cream
beautifully fruity, soft with a certain twist,
has nothing to do with the original.
Too stuffy in the heat....

Oh, how good you smell. Doesn't have much to do with the "original" scent. I can really imagine both layered together. In the end, creamy/powdery.

Sour fruits paired with ylang-ylang. After 10 minutes, it turns into a delicate floral scent with a fabric softener vibe. Unfortunately, not very exciting.
