Between Rain and Oud
I still remember the day I first tried Absolute. It was a rainy afternoon, the streets still glistening from the drizzle, and I had spontaneously decided to stroll through the small perfumeries in the city center. It was supposed to be just a quick visit to distract myself from the routine, but then I stood in front of this unassuming shelf, and there it was, the little bottle from Royal Crown, with its simple, elegant design that radiated something mysterious.
The first spray on my wrist was almost like a small moment of magic. The scent slowly spread: first the light, spicy note of coriander and leather, then the deep, warm heart of oud, tuberose, and rose. It was not a perfume that was loud or intrusive; it was subtle, complex, like a book that you cannot read all at once but discover page by page.
I sat down on a small bench in front of the perfumery, watched the passersby, and felt how the scent somehow put me in a different mood. Suddenly, memories surfaced of evenings when the light fell through the window and bathed everything in a golden glow, of conversations that lasted longer than they should have, and of the calming feeling when everything else seems to stand still, just for a moment.
In the following hours, I noticed that the scent did not simply fade away. It lingered, on my skin, but also in my mood. I felt more confident, calmer, and at the same time more alert, as if I could see the world with different eyes. It was a scent that told stories without needing words.
Since that day, I wear Absolute not just as a perfume, but as a memory of that rainy afternoon, of the little escapes from everyday life, and of the moments that make us pause. Each spray is for me like a little glimpse back at that day-a feeling that is hard to describe but instantly recognizable when experienced.
