Scent type · Herbal & Spicy
Black licorice with a bitter, herbal bite.

Made for Every Body. Fragrance doesn’t care about your gender.

Absinthe is a ritual in a bottle- This is not a soft little wallflower perfume. It has bite. Anise, sugar, herbs, citrus, wormwood, and dark currant come together like the kind of drink that made poets dramatic and probably unbearable at dinner.

Notes: anise, sugar, juniper, spices, citrus, wormwood, black currant, herbs

The Story

One can drink the spirit as is, bitter and bracing. Of course, the preferred way is to combine the Absinthe with a sugar cube, diluted by the cool stream of an elaborately decorated water fountain. In this, and in seemingly all things, a little ritual makes life more palatable.

History & Ritual

Fun fact: we used vintage absinthe in each batch, making us one of the first perfume lines to do so.

Absinthe is rich with history—from famous authors drinking it to the legends, scandals, and theatrical little rituals that followed it everywhere.

To enjoy the spirit is to appreciate a method of preparation that spans centuries. First, Absinthe is poured. Then, a golden, slotted spoon spans the glass. A cube of sugar is laid atop the spoon. Cool, still water is poured over the cube, drop by drop, changing the liquid below. Indeed, we too are transformed for the better, and in so similar a manner: slowly, methodically, and often through the acts of simple ritual.

This scent wouldn’t be possible without the help of the one and only Adrienne Levy and Jade Liquors—true connoisseurs of the green hour.

Pairings

Absinthe stands very well on its own. No chaperone required.

This scent has to be one of my favorites from Seance. It smells delicious, and almost medicinal (not in a bad way! It smells as if it came from an apothecary)
Seance never fails to delight me with their scents ☺️

I am obsessed with this perfume oil and am already planning to get the spray. It’s bright and herbal, sharp with the beautiful licorice note, and suspended around the edges by the sugar. It’s definitely a perfume for a…refined nostril, I don’t think it would go over well if you just like fruity, floral, or gourmand fragrances, but it’s perfect for those of us who enjoy intriguing and complex olfactory journeys.
