A Signature Fragrance
Sandalwood
Sandalwood, sourced from the heartwood of trees native to India and Indonesia, carries a rich, creamy aroma that is both smooth and slightly sweet. Its scent is often described as warm and woody, with a powdery undertone that adds depth and complexity to any composition.
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
Leather
Leather is more than just an aroma; it’s a texture, a memory of old books or vintage leather goods. Its scent can be earthy and warm, sometimes tinged with the subtle smokiness of tanning processes, evoking a sense of heritage and craftsmanship.

Galbanum Green, Sea Smoke
Absent Presence's galbanum and violet leaf lead here, with 1805 Tonnerre's gunpowder and lime smoke folding in underneath through their shared cedar and amber base. The sandalwood and leather give the combination a smoother finish than the marine smoke alone would produce.
Spray Absent Presence first for its green, powdery top, then add 1805 Tonnerre at the wrists so the smoke and sea water notes surface later.
