honey, tolu, patchouli, amber, pepper; smelled a bit sweet and fruity in the drydown but in the base it has an incense vibe

Herbal balsamic syrup as simple as that.
Cloves, honey, patchouli, vanilla, amber, and a grand syrup. I can’t detect any lavender, or musk, or even jasmines.
It’s a pretty blend with overloaded sweetness added to it. Nice.

Received as a free sample. Clove, spice and honey in combo are what I get out of this. Drydown is more complex. Not too bad….I’m not sure worth making a purchase for a bottle as I wish the sillage and longevity were a little better.

The fragrance of 811 Absoluto had, as inspiration, the infinite energy of São Paulo, considered the most dynamic city in Brazil, our New York. The perfumer was Mathilde Bijaoui, who has been involved in several creations for international brands such as Etat Libre d’Orange, Jo Malone, Jacomo, Penhaligon’s, etc. The name (each fragrance has a number in front) does not have an established concept, except for the fact that one of the requirements was the use of 11, which has great personal significance for Giovanna.
811 Absoluto is classified as oriental-spicy by the manufacturer and, just between us, such a classification could not be more perfect. It has notes of lavender, bergamot, pepper and cloves, in the output. Then, the body of the fragrance brings notes of jasmine, honey, green and balsamic accords, which rest on a base of patchouli, amber, musk and vanilla.
By touching the skin, the fragrance of 811 Absoluto reinforces Giovanna Antonelli’s intention to let her mark inside the “Hall of Fame” of the brands within the niche market. It immediately reminded me of other oriental and resinous creations that are full of alcoholic content and clove nuances, from houses like Serge Lutens, Histoires de Parfum, Frapin, among others.
In my opinion, it is the fragrance that has the greatest male appeal – within the initial collection -, besides representing the concept and the city of São Paulo very well. As a native of Rio de Janeiro and a recent resident of São Paulo, I can see the difference in styles between citizens of both sexes, including in the perfumery. São Paulo, in general, has a milder climate, people more concerned with fashion (clothing / makeup / accessories) and a more cosmopolitan and risky style regarding perfumes. In Rio de Janeiro, the climate is warmer, people are more concerned with the body (food habits / physical aspects) and the way of dressing is more seashore, which reflects in the way they perfume themselves, searching for more refreshing fragrances.
811 Absoluto evolves as a kind of syrup, which is prepared on low heat, in which the pepper and the cloves release their spicy content in the honey, while the bergamot is used only to get its bark’s zest, cutting the extreme sweetness. During the cooking time, balsamic notes (balsam of Tolu and benzoin) are added and the aroma changes, gaining nuances that resemble almonds flambéed in cognac. Stirring constantly, this syrup begins to thicken. Here go the notes of amber and patchouli, giving a darker tonality, as if it were caramel. And before putting out the fire, some pinches of vanilla and musk are add and it is recommended to cover the pan, letting it stand for a few hours.
If you can imagine the smell of this syrup, you have come close to the 811 Absoluto’s fragrance, which exudes well for about three hours and lasts for more than eight hours on the skin. It is sensual, seductive, semi gourmand and at the same time comfortable. No doubt, it’s my favorite so far.
