The fifth and final instalment of the Revenants collection draws inspiration from the Elizabethan
poet Sir Philip Sidney. In his Sonnet sequence ‘Astrophel and Stella’ Sidney develops and captures
the essence of a haunting… the presence of one that is always felt but never seen.
‘O absent presence, Stella is not here’
‘Now I, wit-beaten long by hardest fate,
So dull am, 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;
Blest in my curse, and cursed in my bliss.’
Comprising the highest level of natural ingredients of any Beaufort fragrance, Absent Presence explores its themes with typically ‘overdosed’ concentrations of violet leaf absolute, vetiver bourbon oil, smoky leather and black pepper oil. As with all the Revenants family, Absent Presence is presented as 30% Eau De Parfum.
