    Real talk

    Sweet enough to wear, bitter enough to mean it. The absinthe here isn't the knockout punch, it's the backbone. Paired with tiare and vanilla, it becomes the kind of fragrance that smells like you.Douce Amere
    The absinth note here isn't decorative. It's the whole point. Green, spirituous, almost medicinal, it divides people, but for those it pulls in, there's nothing else quite like it.Paname
