The review
On paper, Aniseed is an outside bet if you want Absinth for less.
Perfume Parlour 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
It is $159 per 100ml.
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 Perfume Parlour 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 Aniseed 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, Aniseed is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 The Dupe Spot Absinth $23/100ml
- 02 Perfume Parlour Aniseed $159/100ml
- 03 Palermo Perfumes Absinth $22.75
