Fou d'Absinthe

A dry, aromatic fougère where bitter-green angelica and star anise meet earthy patchouli, shifting from a brisk herbal opening to a cool woody drydown with a faint resinous haze.

Scent Development and Character

A dry aromatic fougère built around bitter-green angelica and luminous star anise, with patchouli giving the composition an earthy spine. It opens brisk and herbal, then settles into a cooler woody dryness with a restrained resinous haze rather than a sweet finish.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best treated as a cool-weather signature for daytime or evening when a crisp, intellectual herbal profile is desired. The composition reads polished rather than heavy, with enough diffusion to be noticed without feeling ornate. Autumn, Winter Moderate-to-soft projection with a noticeable but controlled trail. Moderate longevity, roughly 5-7 hours in ordinary wear.

Perfumer and Bottle
