Heavenly juice celebrating Guerlain's 190 years of excellence
Released in 2018, 190 Ans Absolu in the iconic Bee bottle celebrates 190 years of Guerlain. If I recall correctly, this perfume is supposed to commemorate the various facets of Guerlain’s 21st century perfumes. Described in a few words, this perfume is a sweet and creamy orange blossom-almond-vanilla scent.
On me, Absolu opens up with a majestic blast of a very sweet orange blossom (clean and bright). I also smell a honey-like nectar in the opening. Shortly thereafter, it evolves into a more complex scent with floral notes of ylang-ylang, rose, and a touch of jasmine and iris, complimented by almond and benzoin. Sandalwood rounds out the fragrance. I also detect a sweet vanilla base, making the entire composition reminiscent of Guerlain’s famous Guerlinade.
The Absolu also performs incredibly well, with 10-12 hours of longevity on my skin and a very pleasant and extensive scent bubble. Overall, it is a beautiful and delicate floral fragrance with some deliciously sweet and almond-y features and a slightly woody-musky base. 190 Ans Absolu smells heavenly and it is one of the most cherished bottles in my small collection. It also happens to be my favorite Guerlain fragrance.
