Absolute Aphrodisiac by Initio Parfums Prives, released in 2015, is built on amber, castoreum and leather, with nothing bright or fresh in sight. Its opening notes of musk and white flowers feel animalic and a little smoky right away, and vanilla thickens it alongside more leather. Powdery and woody accords carry it to a warm, sweet finish, and it never shifts into something lighter. Men and women both wear it, especially anyone who wants presence rather than subtlety. Winter is the season voters pick, worn through the evening and into the night, and it also turns up as a work choice. The longevity vote leans long lasting, while the sillage vote leans moderate, edging toward strong. Try a 3ml decant on a cold evening and you will know quickly if it is yours.
