Absinth by Nasomotto Estrait de Parfum 30 ml. or 1.0 fl.oz.

Absinth is a wild tumble of earthy browns, woody greens, and dry, bitter herbs, a rare fragrance that you smell and you immediately think of colors. Loamy earth is soon joined by a soft, warm sweetness that seems to appears to be like the ground of a tree-ringed meadow after the first rain of spring. The smell of the earth, the sweet notes of rainand the tinge of young greens and florals not yet in full bloom are all here. Absolutely captivating and more than a little haunting, Absinth captures that bittersweet moment when the earth is about to wake up from its winter slumber. It's an addictive, I-need-to-smell-it-all-day kind of perfume, the kind you make sure to put on your wrists or a dab on a leather watchband just so you can partake in its earthy delights.

"The fragrance aims to evoke degrees of hysteria. The result of a quest to stimulate irresponsible behavior." The Nose.

The brains (and nose) behind Nasomatto is Alessandro Gualtieri, an Italian perfumer who has created scents for Versace, Valentino, Helmut Lang, Fendi, Diesel, and more. Gualtieri was educated in the art of perfumery in Germany and built a successful career working with artists, niche brands and major designers - but after being rejected more and more for his radical concepts, he decided to strike out on his own. Gualtieri established his Amsterdam-based brand in 2007 and called it Nasomatto (Italian for ‘crazy nose’). The first series of fragrances was released later that year. 

The perfumes in Nasomatto’s collection are modern, rich and full of personality, reflecting Alessandro’s explosive joie de vivre and love of all things fragranced. Each one is highly concentrated parfum extrait (the lasting power is remarkable) and presented in beautiful, stacked architectural bottles topped with wooden caps.
