The Story
Fou d'Absinthe is a bold, green fragrance that captures the spirit of the forbidden. Olivia Giacobetti blends wormwood with fresh mint and anise for a crisp, herbal opening. The heart reveals a floral touch of lily of the valley, while the base settles into a warm, woody blend of cedar and vetiver. It's a unique, unapologetically green scent that stands out in any collection.
