About This Perfume
Think Citrus cardamom crema with cognac warmth: that is Antonio Banderas The Secret Absolu. It opens with bergamot, cardamom and ginger, moves into lavender, saffron and violet leaf and settles on amber, cognac and labdanum. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2024.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want a scent other people notice from across the room.
Around $19.

Antonio Banderas The Icon (Eau de Parfum, 2020) comes across as cool grapefruit and pepper over green herbs; the notes run from bergamot and Black pepper to amber, oakmoss and patchouli. Antonio Banderas Queen of Seduction (Eau de Toilette, 2016) reads as cool grapefruit soda with floral powder, opening on Aquatic notes and grapefruit and drying down to amber, cedarwood and suede.
