Absinthe (Wormwood)

Absinthe exudes a bold, herbal aroma that combines sharp bitterness with a subtle sweetness. Its green, anise-like scent is intoxicating and mysterious, often evoking a sense of wildness and rebellion. In perfumery, it adds an aromatic, slightly medicinal touch that contrasts beautifully with floral and sweet notes, balancing the composition with depth and complexity.

History & Production: Wormwood, the key ingredient in absinthe, has been used for centuries in herbal medicine and as a flavoring agent. Absinthe itself gained notoriety in 19th-century Europe, especially in France, as a potent, licorice-flavored spirit. The essential oil from wormwood is distilled for its aromatic properties, lending a distinctively sharp and herbaceous character to fragrances.
