Was there something?

I have been asking myself this question just two hours after the test... But let's start from the beginning.

The name promises a lot. I like absinthe as a fragrance note, but unfortunately, it is not often executed really well. During the test, however, I don't necessarily smell absinthe, maybe just subtly. "L'òme" smells wonderfully green-bitter, fresh-spicy, grassy-earthy, and a bit boozy. I suspect vetiver, perhaps also juniper, definitely gin. I can't identify vermouth as a fragrance note.

A fantastic scent is offered to me here! Unfortunately, this is countered by a barely noticeable longevity. "L'òme" becomes very close to the skin quickly and is hardly perceptible on my skin after two hours. I find this very unfortunate, as this scent has a lot of potential, even despite the lack of development.
