Signature Absolue Montblanc 2023

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.
