The story behind the bottle.
Absinthe Boréale by Maison Crivelli, introduced in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer, combines the sharp, bitter essence of absinthe with a fresh, northern breeze. The aromatic green top notes are punctuated by a spicy kick that introduces a sense of intrigue and complexity. Lavender and camphor provide a herbal warmth, while woody undertones anchor the composition in a grounded, earthy finish.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to appreciate its evolving nuances. The fresh spicy top notes are fleeting, so allow it time to settle into the herbal warmth before venturing out. It pairs well with cooler weather but can be worn year-round for a touch of earthy sophistication.
