I was a bit afraid of this and cautiously purchased it in 1.7 oz size (which have since been discontinued). However, this has turned out to be one of the most unique scents I have ever owned, and...

As some others have mentioned, this is a more masculine scent, but that rarely bothers me. But I have to say that is smells, at least on me, almost identical to a deodorant soap that used to be...

Edit: I am enjoying this and Bulgari au the vert perfumee (which is more floral) more and more as the summer winds down. Originally I found fou d absinthe to be a bit too masculine, albeit, modern...

FdA opens sharply (gin on the rocks?) and soon turns into a warm, soapy, and slightly powdery scent that is quite unique. A bit on the masculine side, but very wearable. Definitely worth a try.

"Taste the bewitching green magic of this potent liquer, with it's chilling yet burning herbal, spicy, woody blend." Huh. Maybe the French to English translation is skewed. Normally 'bewitching...

I like this but have to admit it is one of my least favorites from L'Artisan. I enjoy the beginning due to the anise, but I prefer MCMC Maui for my anise scent. After the initial top notes dry...

So, I love this and am already on my second bottle after around 8 months. I'm surprised at how many people refer to this as a men's fragrance. I tried this in the boutique and initially it was...

Fou d'Absinthe smells true to its notes. Well, I wouldn't know about the absinthe part. But I do get the swirl of anise/licorice at the opening, and then lots of deep, dark conifer woods--pine and...

Surprisingly I really like this! It starts with a cool and sweet alcohol smell that warms up rather quickly. Definitely a unisex scent but not very masculine in the "aftershave-y" way. Refreshing...

This is sex in a bottle! I'd ♥*~*♥purrrrrrrrrrr♥*~*♥ if a man wore this around me. Very sexy as a intimate date perfume for a male.

Strange as it seems reading the other reviews on this fragrance, for me it was love at first sniff! I adored it from the moment I tried it and, because of the high price, proceeded to order 2 more...

This is a complex scent full of evergreen needles, warm kitchen spices, and the breezy scent of freshly chopped fennel. It's officially a man's fragrance, and yet I can definitely see the unisex...

starts off wild and herbal (leaf, roots) booze. The alcohol evaporates, and a lighter, watery, almost metallic pine takes shape, very resinous and smooth. Heady aromatic herbs and trees cool off,...

i dunno...i get about 5 minutes of the anise top note, but after that all i get is pine. Still love the idea of an absinthe scent, fleeting as it is.
