What does Absinthe Boréale smell like?

Mint and eucalyptus give it a crisp lift, while lemon and juniper berry turn it citrusy and lightly spicy. Mugwort deepens the green side, and lavender and musk soften everything onto a creamy base. The fresh accord leads, with a slightly synthetic coolness alongside.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter far behind, and leisure, daytime and office wear lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine character sit close together. SEINZ. Classic and SweDoft Tre Kronor have a close profile.
