  My experience is similar to Oscarsh86’s. Perhaps I don’t find it as animalic, but it turned out to be an unfortunate blend, especially in the dry-down, which is usually the softest part. It’s a bomb of spices with caraway (which looks like cumin but isn’t the same), incense, and a very noticeable honey. It smells strong and complicated; on my skin, up close, it’s dry and even rancid. I find it excessively harsh and poorly balanced. In short, the scent didn’t convince me. Longevity is very good with a strong trail. A definite letdown for my taste.

  It’s the dark, sexy, and potent sibling of Cologne Pour Le Soir. I find it excellent, with animalic and balsamic nuances thanks to the caraway and ylang. It opens touching on the dirty, like animal leather, but doesn’t last long; although it may not suit you, it’s worth it for what comes after. The dry-down is warm, smoky with incense, woody with sandalwood, and sweetened by honey until it’s almost gourmand, with an addictive chocolate-like finish. It projects well and lasts a long time for a night unisex. It’s rare for Kurkdjian, perhaps the one that clashes most with his line and they’ll likely discontinue it soon, but it’s a shame because its quality is undeniable. Rating: 7.

  If you can get past the first hour, it’s a sexy and suggestive fragrance. It’s as polarising as the reviews: it has two distinct sides. If Cologne Pour Le Soir is Doctor Jekyll, Absolute Pour Le Soir is Mr Hyde. The opening is strong, almost unpleasant, and reminds me of urine; I’m sure the blend of honey, cumin, and ylang is to blame. Sometimes it smells like stagnant water where lotus grows. But by the second hour, the animal note calms down and the best comes out: thick, with body, and very similar to its sibling, though more intense. The cumin gives way to benzoin and woods, while the honey fades in intensity, making it warm and suggestive. It’s complex and, despite the harsh opening, more interesting than its sibling due to its better development. Performance is excellent, lasting over 10 hours. I recommend giving it a try. Rating: 8/10.

  Smells incredible, with a spiced opening from the cumin that, however, stays pleasant thanks to the sweetness of honey and benzoin. It just needs a bit more longevity to make my top list.
