Initio Absolutes: pure essences at maximum concentration
Initio's most concentrated side
The Absolutes collection brings together the pure essences of Initio Parfums Privés — four creations at maximum concentration, formulated with Julien Sprecher's signature neuro-perfumery. The house's densest and most magnetic expression, aimed at seasoned collectors.
The four essences of the Absolutes collection
The Absolutes collection brings together Absolute Aphrodisiac, Addictive Vibration, Blessed Baraka and Mystic Experience — four compositions with assertive names (Absolute, Addictive, Blessed, Mystic) that fully embrace the angle of magnetic signature extraits.
The logic of pure essences
Absolutes follows the logic of the extrait — higher concentrations, dense and long-lasting trails, the fullest expression of the materials. Where Hedonist and Carnal Blends play on more diffusive concentrations, Absolutes pushes the formulation to its maximum while keeping Initio's typical neuro-perfumery signature. An approach for those who want a fragrance worn like a garment, not a mere aura.
Who should wear Absolutes, and when?
Absolutes is for collectors and seasoned enthusiasts seeking dense trails for specific occasions. The creations belong to the oriental, amber, musky and woody families, and shine especially in the evening and in winter. If you enjoy Absolutes, you will also love exploring the Nobile 1942 Premium collection, the Perris Monte Carlo Extrait Collection and the Atelier des Ors Extrait Collection — three other collections of powerful extraits at Soleil d'Or.
