Fou d'Absinthe is a spicy, green, resinous fragrance from L'Artisan Parfumeur, composed by Olivia Giacobetti and released in 2006. It is worn by anyone. Spicy is how everyone describes it, most also find it woody, about half ambery, and a minority green, sweet or leathery.
Wormwood, the bitter herb behind absinthe, opens with a sharp, green, aniseed-tinged bitterness, angelica adds a musky, celery-like greenness, and blackcurrant a tart, fruity brightness. The heart is a spice cabinet: ginger for fizzy heat, nutmeg and cloves for dry, slightly medicinal warmth, and star anise for a liquorice sweetness, all over an earthy patchouli. The base moves into the forest, with pine needles and balsam fir giving a resinous, green freshness and incense a soft, smoky haze.
Most wearers report moderate longevity and moderate sillage, so it is present without being loud. It is voted mainly for daytime, in spring and autumn, which suits a bracing, herbal spice worn out of doors.
