Absynthe shot - on the rocks please!
This reminds me of the time I spent in Paris while studying literature. As a fan of Baudelaire, I used to go to a classy old bar of the belle epoque, ordering seldom an absinth shot on the rocks / without sugar. Inspiration for cursed poems followed through the harsh alcohol impact of the drink. Just like the opening of this perfume, absinth hits you in the face, but like a pleasant alcoholic slap.
The sweeteness comes through after the first 20 mins, star anise the most, like some popular candies in the 80s I chewed happily on my way to school.
In the dry down, a soft vetiver caresses you and lingers for about 3 - 4 hours.
On the final hour, a faint odor of soapiness mixed with remnants of woods.
Did not expect such experience, considering the price point.
Affordable, original, non-mainstream.
Originality 8.5 - Rare accord of absinth and cannabis
Quality 8 - The Absynth smells just like bar quality.
Longevity 7 - Solid 5 hrs with 1 hour good sillage. Spray on clothes for longer staying power.
