The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024, Absolue Le Parfum by Lancôme is a creation from perfumers Aliénor Massenet and Karoline Vieth-Buxton. The fragrance opens with a fresh, green citrus accord that gives way to a heart of white floral and rose, before settling into a musky, powdery base. This composition captures the essence of French elegance with its balanced notes, making it as suitable for day as for evening.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points; the citrus top notes are vibrant but fade quickly, allowing the white floral and rose heart to take center stage. This fragrance is best worn close to the skin for a more intimate experience.
