Veritas nunquam perit. A state of absolution is a state of truthfulness of self. A release from consequence liberates the spirit and allows it to roam without limiting fear. However, temptation persists, and the power lies within us to either take the bait or evade it. A luscious opening of cherry and almond reminds us of the tantalizing nature of the earthy delights that tempt. Cinnamon suggests a spicy warmth that is carried throughout the long-lasting fragrance. A heart of apple and sweet toffee starts to stray away from temptation and into a realm of truth and mercy. A base of caramel and chocolate serves as a reminder of our lascivious way until grounding and meditative notes of musk, ambergris, and oakmoss bring us back to sensibility. In this tug of war between temperance and intoxication, Absolutio is the rope. Tempt or be tempted; the choice is yours. The truth never perishes.
