AbsolutioHow it wears

The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, Absolutio by Navitus Parfums was crafted by the renowned perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. The composition opens with saffron and cinnamon, creating an immediate sense of warmth and complexity. This is followed by a heart of almond and toffee, adding a sweet and indulgent layer that transitions seamlessly into a base of driftwood, ambergris, and musk, grounding the scent in earthy richness.
Absolutio is not just a fragrance; it's an experience that balances the spiciness of cinnamon with the sweetness of caramel and the depth of woody notes. It’s a unisex creation that feels at home on both men and women, making it versatile for any occasion.
Apply two sprays to pulse points. The saffron and cinnamon top notes are fleeting, so let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings.
