The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008, Absinth by Nasomatto is a Woody Aromatic composition crafted by perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. This unisex scent opens with an aromatic and green freshness that cuts through the air like a blade of grass on a crisp morning. The heart brings in woody elements, while fresh spicy notes add a subtle tension, making it feel both grounding and invigorating. Earthy undertones lend warmth to this composition, creating a sense of depth and complexity.
Apply this fragrance sparingly — it has a strong opening that fades into warmth over time. It's best for daytime or early evening, where its aromatic freshness can shine without overpowering the senses later on.
