What does Absinthe-Minded smell like?

It opens with aniseed, vermouth, absinth and fennel, a cool, spicy start. The heart brings woody notes, patchouli and Kashmiri musk, giving the scent an earthy, soft footing. In the base, amber and oakmoss leave a sweet, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though feminine votes are strong too. Stora Skuggan Hexensalbe and L'Artisan Parfumeur Fou d'Absinthe have a close profile.
