The story behind the bottle.
Spirit Absolute by Swiss Arabian is a composition that balances fresh and warm spicy notes with aromatic woods and musk, creating an intriguing contrast. The top notes of Calabrian bergamot and pepper introduce a bright, zesty freshness, while the heart combines lavender and elemi resin for an herbal, slightly balsamic character. This gives way to a base of ambroxan, labdanum, and cedar, which adds depth and warmth without overpowering the overall composition.
Apply this fragrance in layers for maximum impact — the top notes are bright but fleeting. Allow it to settle on your skin for about an hour before reapplying lightly if needed, as the base notes will continue to develop and provide warmth throughout the day.
