Description
Absent Presence by BeauFort London, the final creation of the Revenants collection, honors the renowned Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney. Inspired by his work Astrophel and Stella, this fragrance reflects the intensity of unattainable love and the melancholy that pervades the poet’s verses.
As Sidney expresses in his poetry:
“Oh absent presence, Stella is not here!
…Whose presence is absence, and her absence, present absence;”
Absent Presence captures this duality, creating an olfactory experience that plays with presence and absence, much like Sidney’s verses.
The fragrance is characterized by its dark, enveloping nature, with notes of violet leaves, bourbon vetiver, smoked leather, and black pepper, evoking the intensity of the emotions described in the poetry. Furthermore, with one of the highest concentrations of natural ingredients in any BeauFort fragrance, Absent Presence has a 30% perfume concentration. Each 50ml bottle is carefully hand-wrapped, a detail that reflects the craftsmanship and artistry that defines BeauFort London.
Top notes: bergamot, galbanum and black pepper.
Heart notes: jasmine and violet leaf absolute.
Base notes: smoky leather, sandalwood, musk, amber, Bourbon vetiver and cedar.

I liked it a lot. It’s long-lasting. Very warm and deep. It has a very high intensity; when it reacts with heat, it becomes more potent.

A far cry from its branded siblings but truly spectacular. Much more wearable, which does not mean vulgar.

Simply spectacular. Good projection and remarkable trail, it is noticeable without suffocating (it is advisable to moderate the dose, of course).
