Anyone after a sharp, cooling opening will find it in Absolu Homme Cologne from Michael Kors, lemon, cardamom, peppermint and pink pepper layering into a spiced citrus top. Lavender, rosyfolia, mahonial and incense deepen the core into something aromatic, rosy and softly smoky. Cedarwood, akigalawood and vetiver close the drydown dry, modern and richly woody. Rosyfolia and mahonial are both modern synthetic materials, giving the heart a diffusive, contemporary rose character rather than a classic floral one. Absolu Homme Cologne is a woody spicy Eau de Parfum, suited to everyday wear and the office. Michael Kors built a modern material palette into a traditionally structured fragrance.
