Get Seduced by the Green Fairy | Absolument Parfumeur Launches Absinthe-Based Fragrances

By Glasgow Skinner/ My Life On And Off The Guest List @guestlistblog
We all know the Absinthe aka the Green Fairy is dangerously seductive and can entice you to do things that are a bit on the naughty side. Imagine having the power of that persuasion in your fragrance. Pascal Rolland, founder of the Liquoristerie de Provence, who in 1999 was behind the return of Absinthe liquor, is the first to create a fragrance that features the mysterious and mind-altering liquor. With his company, Absolument Parfumeur, Monsieur Rolland became the first liquor-making perfumer, launching Absolument Absinthe, and following it with four other scents for men and women. The perfumer, who recently signed with Crafting Beauty Inc. to be its exclusive distributor in the USA and Canada, welcomes this range of exotic fragrances stateside for the first time.

As of today, Absolument Parfumeur features the following five fragrances:
Absolument Absinthe - Light and deep, luminous and mesmerizing unisex fragrance that reacts to your own chemistry. A woman’s skin will bring out the floral notes. A man’s skin will bring out the fresh spicy notes.
  • Top notes: the first contact with the note is created by the sparkling pulp mingled to the black Chinese tea, scented with bergamot. The spicy exotic fragrance of “canepa sativa,” or cannabis, gives an aromatic aspect unknown till now.
  • Heart notes: the Absinthe, both fresh and intriguing, combined with the green Iranian galbanum heart express a very strong duality. The floral notes (lily of the valley, Lotusflower, jasmine, Ylang-Ylang ) are warmed by the noble spicy notes (nutmeg and Ceylon cardamom).
