Pros & Cons
- ✅ I love this! I tested a LOT of perfumes yesterday... and this was one of my top picks.
- ✅ Fantastic, highly wearable, green and fresh wormwood/absinthe.
- ✅ Huge like! Maybe even a love.
- ✅ A refined and well-heeled, moustachioed chap wearing this can take me out for an aperitif any day of the week.
- ✅ I think the 'generic teen cologne' criticisms are unfair. ... This smells like a quiet temple, high in the alpine forest.
- ✅ I love this! I tested a LOT of perfumes yesterday (at the Neiman Marcus in the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, they have so many hard to find brands) and this was one of my top picks.
- ✅ Fantastic, highly wearable, green and fresh wormwood/absinthe. Beautiful opening that unfortunately fades to a moderately less interesting (though still very pleasant) skin scent very quickly.
- ✅ I think if you come into owning this perfume with expectations of something “intense and dark” you will certainly be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a beautiful, wearable rendition of absinthe - this one is for you.
- ✅ Huge like! Maybe even a love. The licorice and absinthe greets you upfront. It’s a lovely combination.
- ❌ it is too dense and sombre for my taste.
- ❌ Unfortunately, regular people just smell shaving cream; my wife says I smell like an old man when I wear it.
- ❌ I love this for about five minutes. ... anise, shaving cream, incense and baby powder take over.
- ❌ My problem with this fragrance is longevity it lasts 4 to 5 hours and that is pushing it.
- ❌ The longevity isn’t amazing however and dries into a barbershop esque fragrance
- ❌ I love this for about five minutes. Lots of exotic spicy and green notes at the opening but they evaporate quickly. anise, shaving cream, incense and baby powder take over.
- ❌ The scent itself is outstanding. ... but the longevity on my skin is disappointing and bad enough that I likely wouldn't buy a full bottle unfortunately.
- ❌ Another great scent by Olivia Giacobetti, but it is a skin scent.
