Option Review:13ml Spray
I don't own the original, and I don't know it deeply and completely as a nose or a forever fan would do. I only tested it a few times and was a love at the first sniff. So, imagine my surprise and pleasure when I check it out on Parlour and found out they have a version of Absinth. Now, my only regret is that I bought the 13ml Spray only... I wasn't sure they made it right.
But man, it is right as I remember the original. Of course, I don't expect it to be completely the same, and as I said, a nose or a connoisseur will surely spot some differences. But for me, a new fan of Nasomatto house, and for the rest of us who care more for the overall perfume vibe than a note by note, accord by accord comparison, this is a great dupe.
It is aromatic, woody, spicy, green, fresh but warm, and sweet in the beginning... I only can pick up the aromatic greens, the fresh spices, the vetiver and the cedar wood, I don't get the wormwood. But this is happening to me with the original too, and I do know the wormwood smell, I had it in my garden for a long time.
A great dupe for sure. I don't know the longevity yet, but I will get back with a later edit. Now it is three hours after spraying it, and I feel it quite strongly.
In conclusion, a great aromatic perfume, a very unique scent, however, a pretty safe blind buy for the ones who love the genre...
