Ive been searching for the “perfect scent” for eons, and unexpectedly, this might very well be it. Ive always been drawn to incense and Ive collected a few incense heavy scents (most recently Rien Intense Incense by Etat Libre d’Orange) but always wished I could tweek the notes a bit to my liking. Being a fan of the original Knot, I sampled this and was instantly intrigued. It’s very different from the the original and I feel this should be the signature and the original should have been the flanker (L’eau Knot maybe). Knot Absolue reminds me of how a head shop on a rainy day in Seattle would smell. Full of Nag Champa sticks, Tarot cards and lavender soaps. This is so mysterious yet inviting, clean but complex. Maybe its the opoponax, but this isn’t really flowery, woody or sweet, its more like a glowing resin with a hint of soapiness. I always felt the original was more masculine than feminine, and Absolue is even more so to my nose and chemistry (both get me tons of compliments). However, everyone should give them a try, they are absolutely beautiful creations, but Absolue is in my top 5 scents ever created. I am completely smitten.

This takes me back to a tarot cards store I used to go to a long time ago, scents of candles, dark rooms..definitely an air of mystery to it..and I am not sure I am liking the smell so far…now, it is rather warm here, and I think this would work better in colder weather…I expected less smoky, and more rounded maybe…this is like a first impression, so I will give it time…the myrrh definitely dominates, and the lavender gives it a certain freshness…still, I can’t get the metaphysical vibes out of the smell…challenging for my nose to say the least…not too eager to ask my husband what he thinks of it, as I don’t think he will like it…it lacks something for me, femininity maybe..this is too much a indie scent so far for me..I much prefer the original, which was more classy, more floral..I don’t detect the neroli, or the jasmine, which would have softened the church encens vibe for me..not sure with that one ..the lavender gets soapy in the base, which is very different from the top notes..like it is warm in the top notes, and aromatic fresh in the base…definitely not a boring and crowd pleasing scent…it smells more to me like an aromatic candle than a perfume in a way…I love balsamic, but this is a high dose of balsamic…different is the word here.

Aromatic, balsamic, well blended, very nice scent. Lavender, myrhh and opoponax dominate this composition and make it very elegant. Oriental scents aren’t usually in my style, but I really like this one.

Perfection!
This is the Scent I‘ve been looking for: calm, full of character, multidimensional, warm and chill at the same time, mysterious and sensual, yin&yang… Complete.
It starts with a burst of fresh white flowers, heliotrope and lavender embraced by myrrh and opoponax vapours with a nice touch of leather (yes, it had to be there, it‘s a Bottega). Then lavender takes over really strong almost as a soliflore for about an hour. Heliotrope appears again shily in a tender dance with neroli for another hour or so. In drydown jasmine with myrrh and maybe a hint of sweet amber play the main role for 2-3 hours. Lavender is still noticeable but faint.
Transcendental beauty… to colder seasons

I like his one way more than the original Knot. Very oriental and smoky. It reminds me the smell of Arabian/Hindi/esoteric stores… OK that does not sound very sophisticated, but it brings to my mind nice memories.

fell in love with this instantly! less sweet than Alien Absolue but the same Feeling about it. I can smell honey in it, too. vanilla, amber, opponax, levandel nicely taking out the sweetness…perfection!
