Absolue Pour le Soir
Francis Kurkdjian put honey at the front of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Absolue Pour le Soir and built everything else to hold it there.

How it moves
The first breath is honey, cumin and coriander, and it is loud about it. Then the heart turns up — rose, ylang-ylang and incense — and the whole thing slows down. It dries down to sandalwood, benzoin and atlas cedar, close to the skin and hard to forget.
What wearers say
4.1 out of 5 across 2,100 ratings — well loved, and not quietly.
Who made it
Francis Kurkdjian composed it in 2009, for Maison Francis Kurkdjian in France. A polarizing cult favorite from the house's launch collection, famed for its animalic honey-and-cumin opening and heady incense.
