  I won’t write a long review because Absinthe isn’t that complex, and I think synthesizing helps us get a quick idea of what we’re in for. To the point: upon spraying, it’s herbaceous. Don’t imagine fresh, citrusy, radiant grass, but rather the opposite: warm, slightly dry, a bit bitter, yet very attractive and comforting. As it evolves, vetiver and musks become noticeable (it’s quite loaded), giving it a clean character that makes it a green, warm, earthy, sweet, and tidy fragrance. Unfortunately, it’s not a performance bomb (5 to 6 hours on my skin) nor in projection, but it’s a quite pleasant scent that doesn’t receive the recognition it deserves among its siblings. For spring/autumn and informal occasions.

  Green and spiced fragrance, with great projection and acceptable longevity. The king couldn’t be anyone else but absinthe (not wormwood as stated here; absinthe is the drink, wormwood is the ingredient), accompanied by green notes that balance that alcoholic and sweet touch. It’s one of the easiest to wear from Gaultier, ideal for daily use in temperate or hot climates (avoid extreme cold and heat).

  Green and spiced fragrance, with great projection and acceptable longevity. The king here is absinthe (not wormwood as some say; absinthe is the drink, wormwood is the ingredient), accompanied by green notes that soften that alcoholic and sweet touch.

  Green and sweet but sparkling and not cloying at all. A delight.

  Green and sweet, but with a spark and without being cloying. A delight.

  Green in its sweet, spiced, and dry, musky version. On clothes, it reminds me of a green gummy candy. A fragrance to be yourself; it hasn’t surprised me, nor does it project or last on my skin. Basically, neither its aroma nor its performance calls to me. In this case, Nasomatto doesn’t meet my expectations.

  This could be one of the greatest references in conceptual perfumery I’ve tried. Smelling it without knowing what it’s trying to convey can cause confusion or even disgust, so I think it’s a fragrance for personal enjoyment and hard to like if you’re not used to such aromas. Upon spraying, it greets you with a harsh, bitter blast reminiscent of weeds, green leaves, and dry branches. It has a damp, earthy base that reinforces this raw nature idea, probably due to earthy essences like patchouli, which are the stars throughout. Essentially, it’s quite linear; nuances appear occasionally, but the profile doesn’t change: it always smells of dry bushes and wild vegetation. Performance is good, lasting about 8 hours with extract behavior: more sillage than projection. With a breeze, it’s noticeable at a distance, but generally, it keeps projection close to the skin. Usage is complicated; personally, it doesn’t convey a specific occasion; you’d need to be creative with clothing to wear it well. I see it more suitable for day than night. It develops better in temperate climates; in heat, its harsh, bitter profile can be bothersome, and I don’t think it has the strength for considerable cold. As for age, I perceive it as more mature; in youthful environments, it could clash; you need confidence to carry something so unconventional. It’s a very interesting, rare fragrance with which you’ll stand out, for better or worse. Personally, I won’t add it to my collection, but it seems like a true olfactory masterpiece. Perhaps expensive for its performance and not very versatile, it’s more appreciated by avid collectors. For me, a 9/10.

  This is probably one of the strongest references in conceptual perfumery I’ve tried. Smelling it without knowing what it’s trying to convey can be confusing, even repulsive, so it’s a scent meant for solitary enjoyment and hard to like if you’re not used to such aromas. Upon application, it hits you with a harsh, bitter blast of weeds, green leaves, and dry branches.
