    Real talk

    Absolute Man is the fragrance equivalent of a weekend afternoon: bright, easy, and pleasantly unpretentious. The citrus-spice opening is solid, the floral heart is a genuine surprise that keeps.Absolute Man
    This isn't the fragrance that fills a room when you walk in. It's the one people notice when you're walking out. The iris-to-tonka transition is the real move here, powdery, slightly sweet.Armani Code
