Absolu de Blé

I was nervous about wearing something this artistic, but it turned out warm and wearable rather than perfumey. The composition is genuinely unusual and it lasts a full workday on my skin.

I expected something sharp and grassy but it opens warm and almost nutty, then settles into this soft hay-like skin scent. Wore it to dinner and kept catching it on my scarf hours later.

The dry-down is where this really shines — that toasted, almost grainy warmth stays close to the skin for hours without turning sweet. I've worn it three days straight, which says a lot since I usually rotate.
