🌿 The Inspiration: The Forbidden Plant
Artemisia Absinthium harvesting in the Alps. Imperial Wormwood isolates the bitter, herbaceous core of Fou d'Absinthe. It removes the spices to focus on the Thujone, Green Leaf, and Medicinal facets. It is sharp, poisonous, and addictive.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Bitter and Green
The scent opens with Angelica Root. The heart is pure Wormwood Absolute. The base is Green Moss. It is linear and intense.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Herb

Wormwood (Switzerland): The authentic plant used for distillation. Bitter and camphoraceous.
