Launched in 2006 by L'Artisan Parfumeur, Fou d'Absinthe is a fresh and spicy aromatic fougere created by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti. The composition opens with the sharp, bracing notes of wormwood and star anise, evoking the intense spirit from which it takes its name. The heart brings warmth through nutmeg and cloves, while the base offers a woody depth with patchouli, pine needles, and incense. This fragrance captures the essence of absinthe — both its clarity and complexity.

Application Tips
Apply sparingly — the wormwood and star anise notes are potent. Give it time to develop on skin; the base will bloom after about an hour, creating a warm, woody presence that lasts through the day.

“Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images.”
Olivia Giacobetti has an uncanny ability to creat an atmosphere. Having completed her training at Robertet, she founded her own perfume laboratory, Iska, and dedicated her career to doing that. She is the brains and the nose behind the fig accords that have been in home scents for years. The perfumes that move her most are "Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images." Her compostions capture the authenticity of a single moment. They are, other words, odes to transience.

The story behind the bottle.
The moment when an absinthe louche transforms, swirling into a cloudy green as water is added, the scent of wormwood and spices filling the air.
