Before being an alcoholic drink, absinthe is first and foremost a heady plant species. Native to Europe, Asia and North Africa, wormwood grows in regions with a temperate climate and on dry land. This aromatic plant is much more known for its liquor than for its therapeutic or olfactory virtues. However, in a composition, the essential oil of wormwood diffuses a green scent with a slight bitterness. Obtained by the distillation of the leaves and stems, its perfume is very airy and aromatic. It brings a lot of dynamism, lightness but also more floral facets and almost mentholated notes.
