What Does Absolu Mean in a Perfume Name? 36 Perfumes from 12 Brands in Kuwait
Last updated: 16 October 2026
The short answer: The word “Absolu” (also written Absolue or Absolute) does not mean one thing in perfume names. In our store, as of 16 October 2026, it appears in the names of 36 in-stock perfumes from 12 brands, priced from 42.100 to 125.550 KWD, and it is used in three ways: as the label “Absolu de Parfum” in 10 perfumes, as a collection name in 12 perfumes by Lancôme and Guerlain, and as a word inside the perfume or edition name in 14 perfumes.
Three uses of the word Absolu in our perfume names
1. The label “Absolu de Parfum”
It appears in 10 names: five by Byredo, three by BDK Parfums and two Guilty perfumes by Gucci. The five Byredo descriptions present the edition as a more concentrated, more intense or richer version of the original perfume, for example the description of Byredo Bal d’Afrique Absolu de Parfum: “this high concentration gives deeper richness”. The BDK descriptions place their three perfumes in the house’s “Absolu de Parfum” collection.
2. A collection name
At Lancôme the word appears in 9 perfumes from the “Absolue collection”, as their descriptions say, all labelled Eau de Parfum and all in 100 ml, eight of them at 109.100 KWD. At Guerlain it appears in three “Absolus Allegoria” perfumes, 125 ml at 70.100 KWD each.
3. A word inside the perfume or edition name
In 14 perfumes the word is part of the edition name, such as Libre L’Absolu Platin Eau de Parfum, CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu Eau de Parfum for Women, Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt Absolute Eau de Parfum, 100ml and Cartier Pasha de Cartier Noir Absolu Parfum 100ml – Unisex, usually with a separate concentration label beside it such as Eau de Parfum or Parfum. The description of Bad Boy Cobalt Absolute says the edition takes the perfume “to the highest level of concentration and strength”, and that of Pasha Noir Absolu calls it “a deeper and more intense version of the Pasha family”.

The Absolu edition costs more in four pairs, and for Pasha de Cartier the prices are equal. The descriptions state a difference in four: Good Girl Jasmine Absolute is “more luxurious and more floral than the original version”, Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu has “an intense amber character”, plus the Bad Boy Cobalt and Pasha phrases above, while the description of Libre L’Absolu Platin only lists notes. Byredo was left out because its base version in stock carries a different label, Eau de Parfum.
