Initio Absolutes: pure essences in maximum concentrations
The line of supreme concentrations
Absolutes is the line of pure essences of Initio Parfums Privés, maison founded in 2015 by Julien Sprecher. Four creations with maximum concentrations formulated around precious raw materials. Where the maison's other collections cultivate emotional registers (hedonist, carnal, oud), Absolutes pushes Initio's writing to its formulation extreme — concentrations such that the matter occupies all the space, ultra-long trails, exceptional density.
The four creations of Absolutes
Absolutes brings together Absolute Aphrodisiac, Mystic Experience, Magnetic Blend and Blessed Baraka — four extraits where the precious matter unfolds at its absolute maximum, in compositions of exceptional density.
The extrait reading according to Initio
Absolutes inscribes itself in the great tradition of the parfum extrait pushed to maximum concentration. Where the eaux de parfum of the other Initio collections offer balance and immediate readability, Absolutes pushes the matter to a density rarely reached even in luxury niche. A line for connoisseurs who want the most uncompromising expression of the maison's writing, in extraits that are worn parsimoniously and last over 12 hours on the skin.
Who are Absolutes for, and when to wear them?
Absolutes speaks to lovers of haute parfumerie focused on extreme concentrations, who seek dense, spectacular trails. Creations sit in the oriental, ambery, woody and floral families, and shine particularly for evening wear and in winter. If you enjoy Absolutes, you will also want to explore the Atelier des Ors Collection Extrait, the Perris Monte Carlo Collection Extrait and Profumum Roma — three other extrait-focused signatures at Soleil d'Or.
