The review
On paper, Absinth is a strong bet if you want Absinth for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Absinth's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 87% less than Absinth.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on wormwood and anise, turns to herbs and patchouli, and settles into woody notes and musk. That is the brief Absinth is working from.
Top
- wormwood
- anise
Heart
- herbs
- patchouli
Base
- woody notes
- musk
Wormwood bitterness over damp herbs and woods, a fragrance that tastes as much as it smells.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Nasomatto Absinth we can price, Absinth is number 3 on price per 100ml.
