Inspired by Oriental treasures, created by Guerlain’s Perfumer
For this powerful and contrasted creation, Thierry Wasser, Guerlain’s master Perfumer, drew inspiration from the noble material that is leather.
As an exclusive raw material, leather is part of a thousand-year tradition in Orient. With this fragrance, Thierry Wasser pays tribute to its strength, its softness and its sensuality. In its creation, the Perfumer builds diversity between the powerful woody leathery notes and the luminous osmanthus flower with its light fruity apricot facets.
PERFUMERS SECRET
For the sixth release of the Absolus d’Orient collection, Thierry Wasser creates a bewitching fragrance with the powerful leather note, while the osmanthus flower brings a sweet and apricot facet. The Virginian cedarwood adds structure to the deep and mysterious creation with the woody note that sublimates and unveils the diversity between the raw materials.
Jasmine at night, when the sun gives in and the air finally becomes gentle and cool. A clean, sparkling jasmine, tempered by the soft winds and the air of the ocean. Enhanced by vetiver and patchouli. Intense and sensual.

Night falls; with it, rises the yearning for an embrace, for whispers and caresses… Skin against skin. The desire is fueled by the sensual heat wave coming from the Mediterranean forest we call Garrigue, sprawling outside the house, charged with the noble and hypnotic scents of the cyst labdanum, Alep trees, patchouli, aromatic plants, golden resins and deep amber.

SOLEIL BRULANT CAPTURES THE HIGH-SHINE BRILLIANCE OF THE GOLDEN SUN BEAMING ON A PRIVATE OASIS. THE SUNKISSED FRESHNESS OF MANDARIN AND BERGAMOT MINGLES WITH SPICY PINK PEPPERCORN, GIVING WAY TO AN ORNATE AND REGAL FLORAL HEART WHILE ORANGE FLOWER ABSOLUTE AND A NOTE OF RADIANT BLACK HONEY RELEASE A SEDUCTIVE VAPOR. THE BACKGROUND BRINGS THE BURNISHED WARMTH OF DECADENT AMBER EMBELLISHED WITH RESINS AND WOODS. AN AIR OF VETIVER AND LEATHER STOKES THE SMOKINESS OF EXTRAVAGANT INCENSE.
Floral Musky Fruity
“Within our first fragrance collection, we wanted a really universal expression. The words that came to mind were: easy, comfortable, urban, sophisticated, chic, easy to understand…
A generous fragrance built around woods, flowers and a sensual touch. So a luminous chypre structure came to mind. Musky notes were de rigueur here, and so was an elegant touch of rose and amber. But the initial seriousness of the accord disappeared when colorful but subtle fruit accents were added: they were here to stay.
So just like PASSION VICTIM reflects the heady languor of Paris in the 20s, this attractive composition evokes the speed and the sophistication of today’s New York. A human silhouette dashing through the cityscape, a trail of a perfume filled with an urbane, civilized feeling. The ultimate expression of effortless chic.”
SENSUAL, WARM, UNCTUOUS AND VELVETY, THIS FRAGRANCE EVOLVES AND SPIRALS LIKE A FRAGRANT VOLUTE OF SMOKE. AN OPULENT FLORAL HEART ADD TO THE INTRIGUE AND THE ATTRACTION IS NO OTHER THAN FATAL.
DARK AND ENLIGHTENED AT THE SAME TIME, THIS STUNNING PERFUME PLAYS WITH CONTRASTS LIKE NO OTHER: A FRAGRANT CHIAROSCURO, BOTH ENIGMATIC AND ELEGANT, GLISTENING AND SOMBER AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE A HIDE OF THE SHINIEST BLACK LEATHER.
