The Spirit of the Fragrance

Inspired by the sonnets of poet Sir Philip Sidney, Absent Presence explores the duality between what is there and what is no longer. It is "the shadow of a perfume," a persistent memory that haunts the mind. The fragrance opens with incisive black pepper and green galbanum, before revealing a dark, almost earthy violet. This floral heart then melts into smoky vetiver and enveloping leather, creating an elusive yet tenacious trail. An olfactory work for those who cherish the beauty of silence and mystery.
