    Real talk

    Absinthe is anise. Anise is black licorice. Which means this fragrance is sweet in a way most men's scents aren't, and that's exactly the point. It sits differently on the skin.Black Absinthe
    This is not a gentle fragrance. The eucalyptus and camphor keep things clinical, while frankincense and benzoin add a spiritual, almost ceremonial depth. It demands attention.Body Kouros
