What does Absolument Absinthe smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and Chinese black tea, with hemp adding a green edge. In the heart, absinth, Persian galbanum, Sri Lankan cardamom and nutmeg push that freshness toward the spicy and herbal, while lily of the valley, lotus and jasmine bring a soft floral note. Mysore sandalwood and musk leave a clean, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves no heavy trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits evenly between the two.
