Absolus Allegoria Cuir Intense Eau de Parfum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This is not a fragrance that I would have chosen off the shelf, but it truly surprised me. The notes of leather, musk and sandalwood create a bold, unmistakable scent that is luxurious and leaves you smelling expensive. It is extremely strong to me and only required one spray to last hours. The bottle and spray cap are really well made and add to that high quality experience. I would describe this scent as unisex but as it is so leathery (I usually wear lighter florals), I ultimately shared it with a male relative who loves bold, powerful scents. He was thrilled with it and I am now exploring the other scents Guerlain has to offer. If you like long lasting, opulent scents this one is definitely worth trying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially, I was a bit unsure of the scent of this cologne. I really like a leather-type scented cologne, which this does have. However, my initial reaction was that of surprise as there were some other significant odours, such as sandalwood and tobacco, and almost an antiseptic undertone. As I say was a little unsure about the tobacco scent I didn’t really like initially; however, after a few days of wearing this cologne, I’ve actually changed my mind, and I’m enjoying the range of different scents! It’s pretty strong compared to other colognes I’ve tried, which can only be a good thing as you don’t need much of it! If you like a strong odour cologne and you’re a fan of earthy, woody, musky scents, then definitely give it a whirl; It is unusual but good unusual, and the bottle is really cool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with this perfume, not being normally a leather scent lover but as I was given this to test I thought I would give it a go. It is beautiful, an elegant leather not a stinky one. Most leather perfumes can smell rather old or I don’t know how to say it but not this one. It’s a nice blend, felt a bit of oud too. I don’t know if it does have oud in its notes, perhaps not but that was how it felt to me. It’s a lovely mix, that got me compliments and can be worn by both women and men. Sillage and projection are very good, it lasts hours on my skin but I had to be careful and only sprayed two puffs as it is quite strong and it can be overpowering for some of my colleagues if sprayed too much. But I was happy with the result and the experience and would recommend it to anyone that likes leather notes or not. Packaging is lovely, looks elegant and I love the gold bee details and honeycomb on the bottle, makes it a bit more unisex. Definitely a good choice, thank you Influenster for the opportunity.
