In late summer, a sunbeam changes character. It grows slower, more golden, and a little heavy, like honey on a spoon. Our perfumers have observed that the beam which falls on a wooden floor at four in the afternoon in August carries notes of beeswax, warm dust, old paper and, faintly, a sleeping dog. We have composed Sunbeam Absolute to capture all of it, except the dog.
At $160 for 50 ml, it is among our most generous scents, with a long, glowing drydown that will keep you warm through the first cold weeks of autumn. We recommend it for naps, for lying on cushions, and for the particular kind of afternoon in which nothing is required of you. Wear it, and be, for a few hours, a patch of light that has decided to stay.
