Wormwood

About

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) smells sharply bitter-green and herbal, with camphoraceous, sage-like and faintly aniseed facets that evoke alpine herbs, absinthe bitters, and cool, arid air. Used sparingly as an incisive top-to-heart accent, it adds dryness and bite, brightens fougères and chypres, suggests boozy absinthe or amaro nuances, and bridges citrus, lavender, coniferous, and mossy-woody notes while tempering sweetness.
