This Absinthium Perfume actually contains the essential oil of artemisia absinthium aka wormwood. It is used in perfumery to hit the bitter herbal notes. Oil of wormwood has a beautiful dark green, bitter, herbal scent which I have sweetened with the essential oils of more sacred herbs and hand blended them into a perfume accord of fragrant artemisia plants.
It smells headily of undiluted, intoxicating absinthe. The distinct scent of crushed fresh wormwood leaves, light on the traditional anise note, but heavy on the herbal notes and sugar cubes.
