Absinthe

Absinthe is a complex, herbaceous fragrance note derived from the infamous spirit of the same name. It is characterized by a strong, anise-like aroma with bitter, woody, and slightly medicinal undertones. The scent is primarily extracted from wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), the key ingredient in absinthe liquor.

Absinthe as a fragrance note can evoke feelings of mystery, creativity, and a touch of rebelliousness. It's well-suited for evening wear or artistic events, as it exudes a sense of bohemian sophistication. This note is ideal for those who want to make a statement and stand out from the crowd, particularly in cooler seasons when its complexity can truly shine.

In perfumery, absinthe is often used as a top or heart note to add depth and intrigue to fragrances. It pairs well with other herbal notes, citrus, and woody accords, creating complex and mysterious scent profiles. Absinthe is particularly popular in niche perfumery, where it's used to create avant-garde and artistic fragrances.
