L’Artisan Fou d’Absinthe eau de Parfum

Fou d’Absinthe Eau de Parfum by L’Artisan Perfumer : Olivia Giacobetti, Released 2006, Translation: “Absinthe Madness” Absinthe – the legendary green fairy that is an enchanting vixen that brings visions, addiction, and madness. Bacchanalian nights on the Moulin Rouge were fueled by this forbidden wormwood liquor that lives on the razor’s edge of bitter and sweet, cold and hot, delirium and inspiration. Fou d’Absinthe opens with the steely grip of icy-cool alcohol, enveloped by the distinctive, slightly bitter, unnervingly accurate note of absinthe, touched with a brisk tingle of angelica. The unique “hot-cold” sensation continues as the crisp, cool bite of anise contrasts with the heat of a cocktail of four spices before settling into a resinous blend of dry pine, fir balsam, and woody cistus. Elegant and mesmerizing, the journey from the initial bracing, herbal sharpness to the deeply sweet and intoxicating mellowness at the end makes us feel, for just a moment, as if we had indulged in contraband. We would follow this green fairy anywhere. Fou d’Absinthe Fragrance Notes: Top notes are Wormwood, Angelica, and Black Currant.
