What does Absinthe smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. It reads neither masculine nor feminine.

The scent comes across as a single whole: absinth and violet leaf open a green, fresh streak, while narcissus adds a soft floral touch. Leather and styrax give it a resinous, leathery depth, and Indonesian patchouli with vetiver strengthens the earthy, woody side. A powdery texture softens the blend.
