Sparkling orange blossom, spicy lily, sumptuous labdanum, rich tolu…just sublime! I love the persistence of the orange blossom, which really lifts the base of this fragrance and keeps it from being...

I love this - I bought it unsniffed, and I quickly became mesmerized by its sexy, ambery beauty. Must get more before it's all gone!

Reviewer Bairn nailed it with these adjectives: " slightly powdery, orangey amber, smooth, transparent and cozy, warm ". The only thing I could add is that a minute or so into it, there is...

Beautiful summery fragrance, somwhat similar, in my olfactory senses, to Betsey Johnson - but far more elegant. Its decadently yet also delicately feminine without being in any way cloying, and has...

Too bad that this is discontinued because I really like it. I'm afraid to wear my addict during the day or to work so this is a good option. It is a more "perfumish" more green floral scent than...

Overall, I am really pleased with this unsniffed purchase. The fragrance opens very sharply for me, redolent of amber, labdanum (peppery) and a tiny hint of citrus. To be frank, the first 10...

I have to start by agreeing with alot of the other reviewers here. This scent does remind me of CD's Addict. It's not as loud & jump out & grab you as Addict, though. It is a more subtle scent. It...

It's such a shame that Rochas has discontinued this one. It is one of my absolute favorites, suitable for any occasion or time of year. Since this scent is so perfectly blended, its difficult for...

I agree with everyone's commmnets below regarding Absolu & Addict being very similar. Absolu is the well refined, classy, sister while Addict is the loud, party loving one. I do prefer this 100...

I bought this cheap at the store where I work because it's being discontinued. That's sad, because this is a very nice and warm amber/vanilla scent. I detect citrus in the opening notes, and maybe...

Absolu is the fragrance you can wear when you can't wear anything else. It's always perfect, always beautiful. When I first tried it, a cloying powder note was a little overwhelming. But I tried...

Addict? I don't smell Addict. I don't even like Addict. I smell green kumquats, vanilla, black pepper, maybe just a hint of rose. Not foody, not very sweet. A winner. Update: Why have I...

I received this in a swap, unsniffed, because the notes sounded so good to me. Perfumeworld.net lists it with rose and cedar and vanilla; Ozmoz.com lists it as: T: mandarin orange, fig leaf M:...

Advertised as a fresh oriental, Absolu proves to be many things, but certainly not fresh. Totally underrated, but not fresh. It's more like a cookie than a cake, bound to disappoint those who...

Absolu is (like Alchimie) first and foremost a very wearable, somewhat easygoing scent. There are fruity top notes, mandarin & fig, followed by floral heart notes, lily & orange blossom spiced with...

Sounded good, sounded like my type (sheer oriental), got a lot of raves, notes looked good on Osmoz.com, so I ordered it unsniffed - nope, didn't like it. Disappointed at first sniff. Thin, had a...
