What do reviewers say about Flâneur and ONSEN?
If you've been looking for absinthe that doesn't apologize for being absinthe, this is it. Some find the linden-absinthe pairing confrontational. That's the point.Flâneur
ONSEN is a fougère, a shower-gel fougère, some say, and they're not wrong. The herbs are creamy, not sharp. The aquatic isn't ozonic. It's the kind of composition that asks you to settle in.ONSEN
