Absinthe fragrance?

[Matt555]

I have seen some Absinthe fragrances on sites like Etsy. Does anyone have any experience with an Absinthe scents? I have tried Anise/Licorice fragrances like Lolita Lempika, which I like, but it is not really Absinthe. Any ideas?

I have a sample of Nasomatto Absinth Parfum from Lucky Scents, but have not had a chance to try it yet.
Notes: Absinthe, Herbs, Vetiver

Not a true Absinth frag per se, but By Killians Taste of Heaven has an absinth note. I don't notice it being too anise like.

Amouage Memoir Man has an absinthe note. A lot of guys seem to like it, but it frankly gave me a headache.

I have Fou D' Absinthe by L'Artisan. It's always been pretty popular at Basenotes. I greatly dislike drinking Absinthe, but find this scent very interesting.

This one has been on my to-try list for a long time. I need to order a sample already....

I do like Absinthe and drink it frequently but I'm a little confused by your question. Absinthe is not only derived from wormwood, but is also flavored with anise and/or fennel, and sometimes other ingredients. So, there are lots of "absinthe"-like fragrances out there (and LL au Masculin would have been my first choice). What is it that you're specifically after?

+ to what StylinLA said, AtoH has some good absinthe, but lavender and incenses could ruin that for you.
There's a very good french Absolument Absinthe by Parfum d'Interdits. They grow their own wormwood. It's marketed as a scent for women though.

I like drinking it to. As you know, Absinthe (drink) is not very sweet. It actually has bitter and has very sharp and fresh aromatic qualities to it. So I am looking for a fragrance that essentially mimics the smell of the drink. I don't even know if that exists though. LL au Masculin is great, but it is a sweeter licorice smell, not a fresh/bitter Absinthe smell.
