How do they charge over 200€ for a perfume you have to rub your neck for an hour just to see if any scent remains? I’ve tested it several times using official samples. To me, it’s a fougère that opens green and quickly settles into an almost imperceptible musk with a sweet touch. No absinthe vibes at all, basically just lavender. If you’re looking for something similar that actually works, try Tom Ford’s ‘Beau de Jour’, or a much more affordable option with similar accords, Pedro del Hierro’s ‘Normal’.
Absinthe Boreale by Maison Crivelli is one of my favorite scents from the brand. At first, I thought I’d already smelled it until I checked the comparisons and realized it smells incredibly fresh, like Bleu de Chanel. It features a ton of bright green notes, neither citrus nor aquatic, which give it a very lively character. From the official notes, I pick up thyme and rosemary, with lavender and moss adding a roughness that isn’t annoying, plus a cool sensation that fits the name and other ingredients perfectly. I also detect a bit of orange or tangerine, but the green always dominates with a great balance. It’s a lovely aromatic proposition that moves away from typical citrus or aquatic perfumes. I believe it’s perfect for hot weather and leans more masculine than feminine. It reminds me of a mountain trip or a place where the air is so pure it cleans you down to the last cell—that’s spectacular. It’s high quality, though I would have liked more evolution or body in the scent; nevertheless, I highly recommend trying it. There’s a touch of salt that might feel a bit commercial since it’s an easygoing aroma, but it’s certainly not boring. Rating: 8/10
Absinthe Boreale by Maison Crivelli is one of my favorites from the brand. At first, I thought I’d already smelled it until I realized it smells like the freshest version of Bleu de Chanel. It’s packed with super bright green notes—neither citrus nor aquatic, but they give the scent so much life. Honestly, I detect thyme and rosemary, supported by lavender and moss, which gives it a pleasant roughness and a cool feeling that fits the name perfectly. I barely notice any orange or tangerine, but the green dominates with a great balance. It feels like a great proposition that steps away from typical citrus or aquatic perfumes. I think it’s ideal for hot weather and feels more masculine than feminine. It reminds me of a mountain trip, with air so pure it cleans you down to the last cell—that’s spectacular. It has high quality, though I’d have liked more development or body; still, I recommend giving it a try. There’s a hint of salt that might seem a bit commercial since it’s a straightforward scent, but it’s not uninteresting. Rating: 8/10
