What does Absinthe smell like?

It opens with vermouth, lavender and green mandarin orange, while heliotrope and rhubarb in the heart add a soft, sweet, fruity note. The base of leather, vetiver and amberwood settles it onto a woody, resinous and slightly spicy ground.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Votes lean a little towards fall and spring, though summer and winter are used too, and it is picked most often for leisure, evening and business wear. Most voters read it as masculine, yet it stays unisex. Trussardi My Land and Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade have a close profile.
