DAHAB ABSOLU

Dahab Absolu is the extrait de parfum created by Patrick Müller for Kajal Perfumes Paris, presented at Esxence 2026. It is a unisex floral fruity gourmand that reinterprets the origin of the celebrated Dahab through the symbolism of gold.

The Fragrance

Dahab Absolu doesn't present itself as a simple new version of the 2015 Dahab, but as its ideal origin, the point from which the entire idea would have begun. The name means "gold" in Arabic, and the brand translates it into a precise concept: not a trail designed to be noticed, but a presence that is felt. Less display, more inner light expanding slowly outward.

How It Wears on Skin

The opening is bright and juicy, with bergamot, passionfruit, orange, grapefruit, green apple and mango intertwining in an entrance that's both citrusy and tropical, never too syrupy thanks to the presence of fresh citrus. The heart warms into jasmine, rose and honey, with geranium, lily of the valley and blackcurrant leaves adding a green nuance: it's the honey that bridges the floral and fruity sides, carrying the composition toward a golden, soft register. The base closes on musk, vanilla, oakmoss, caramel, and guaiac and cashmere woods, for an amber, velvety base, less dessert-like than caramel and vanilla alone might suggest. Early industry impressions describe a notable trail and remarkable longevity, in line with the extrait's high concentration.

Who We Recommend Dahab Absolu For

Suited to those who love fruity gourmands but want them more complex, thanks to the honey binding tropical fruit and white flowers together. Perfect for those looking for a fragrance that speaks of luxury through the quality of its raw materials, not through a loud trail.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Take

In the boutique, expectations were high, and they were fully met. Dahab Absolu stays elegant from the first minute to the last, never losing its balance between the fruity and honeyed sides. It's a genuinely well-built composition, with excellent performance.

FAQ

Is Dahab Absolu a new version of Dahab, or a completely different fragrance?
The brand presents it as the ideal conceptual origin of the original 2015 Dahab, not as a simple re-edition: it shares the theme of gold but develops its own independent olfactory pyramid, much fruitier and more honeyed.

Is mango the dominant note in Dahab Absolu?
No, it's one of several tropical fruits in the opening alongside passionfruit, orange and grapefruit, but it's the honey in the heart that becomes the true thread running through the whole composition.

Is Dahab Absolu already available to purchase?
Yes, it's available on our store as a 100 ml extrait de parfum.
