Absinthe Boréale – Eau de Parfum

Maison Crivelli – Parisian niche perfumery that builds every fragrance around a single, often overlooked raw material.

Absinthe Boréale smells green, cool and spicy-fresh – juniper berries, eucalyptus, mint and lemon open with an almost icy clarity, lavender and wormwood layer in a bitter, herbal edge, while musk settles into a soft, skin-close warmth underneath. Here too, Maison Crivelli deliberately skips the classic top-heart-base pyramid.

Absinthe Boréale works best in spring and summer, worn during the day – a unisex fragrance that makes a fresh companion for active days and a cool contrast to warm weather.

What draws us to Absinthe Boréale is exactly this contrast: the icy, almost literary idea of a shot of absinthe under the Northern Lights, where a bitter wormwood herbaceousness meets a soft musk finish – a fragrance that never feels cold, even as it plays with cold.
