Absent Presence EDP 50 ml

The fifth and final chapter of the Revenants collection draws inspiration from the Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney. In his sonnet cycle "Astrophel and Stella," Sidney develops and captures the essence of an obsession... the presence of someone always felt but never seen.

 

"Now I, long-beaten by hardest fate,

So dull am I, that I cannot look into

The ground of this fierce love and lovely hate,

Then some good body tell me how I do,

Whose presence absence, absent presence is;

Blessed in my curse, and cursed in my bliss."

 

"Now I, long-beaten by hardest fate,

So dull am I, that I cannot penetrate

The ground of this fierce love and lovely hate,

Then let some one tell me how I do,

Whose presence absence, whose absence presence is;

Blessed in my curse, and cursed in my bliss."

 

Character: Dark; enveloping; wavy.

 

Composed of the highest level of natural ingredients of any BeauFort fragrance, Absent Presence explores its themes with typically "over-dosed" concentrations of violet leaf absolute, bourbon vetiver oil, smoked leather, and black pepper oil. Like all fragrances in the Revenants family, Absent Presence is presented as a 30% Eau de Parfum.

 

Perfumer: Julie Dunkley
