Absinth explores different degrees of hysteria. He plays with the charms of irresponsible behavior. The most luxurious form of madness – an escape from reality that begins with a giggle and leads straight to the center of hysteria, where the true meaning of life lies.
Absinth sloshes from a shot glass, the smell of sweet wormwood with a herbaceous hint of vetiver drifts through the open window overlooking a dense forest. Green, bright, spicy and earthy, then soft and embracing – this fragrance awakens all the senses and takes you on a journey of self-discovery.

The cap on the bottle is made of very thick olive wood. Finding the right density of wood to make the caps is extremely time-consuming.

Behind the Fragrance

This fragrance aims to evoke various degrees of hysteria and irresponsible behavior. It is dedicated to absinthe, a controversial spirit that was temporarily banned due to its component thujone. This ketone, known to stimulate serotonin, gives off an aromatic green smell and contains THC. This substance causes hallucinations and psychedelic effects and was used by the military during the war as a disinfectant and to boost soldiers' morale. It is also found in plants of the genus Artemisia and is a component of various essential oils used in perfumery.

As a young perfumer, The Nose mixed laboratory-grown thujone into his absinthe drinks to ensure the right effect. He wanted to experience a different kind of drunkenness that would lead to endless bursts of giggles and bursts of hysterical laughter.

Absinthe, also known as "la fée verte" (the green fairy), is a high-proof alcoholic drink that originated in Switzerland. It became very popular among artists and writers in Paris in the 19th century. Traditionally characterized by a green color and an anise-like flavor, absinthe is made from plants, plant extracts or medicinal herbs. As a drink, absinthe is often associated with the bohemian lifestyle. Absinthe is a scent inspired by happy escapes and carefree giggles, a delirious moment that makes you forget all your worries and immerse yourself in a luxurious form of madness.

Nasomatto

Nasomatto is an experimental olfactory platform founded in 2007 for The Nose - Alessandro Gualtieri. Alessandro already had a penchant for special fragrances as a child, which is why he began combining various perfumes from well-known manufacturers (CK One, Gucci, Tom Ford, etc.) with everyday aromas at school. All kinds of fragrance samples from various fashion magazines also helped him to develop his flair for sometimes unusual but always fragrant scents. Alessandro Gualtieri learned the basics of the perfume world in Germany. 
This basic knowledge, combined with a passion for fragrances, led to the founding of Nasomatto. It was an escape from previous professional activities that came with numerous restrictions.
While working for international companies and creating everything from fragrances for cleaning products to exclusive perfume brands, Alessandro was bound by specific instructions and trend forecasts that dictated what was "in" and what was not for the current season. He felt restricted in his creativity and in conflict with the system. In order to distance himself from his past and express himself more fully, Alessandro felt an urgent desire to become independent and launch his own brand. He chose the name "Nasomatto" - Italian for "crazy nose" - which had previously been given to him as a nickname within the perfume world.
The Nose attaches secondary importance to olfactory pyramids and does not wish to specify the components he uses. He has great respect for the raw materials and believes that naming them limits the olfactory experience and steers it in the wrong direction. In the past, perfume was considered a kind of magic potion and its ingredients were kept a closely guarded secret. The Nose wants to maintain this approach for its creations. Each fragrance stands as an artistic, personal expression of the creator.
