What’s the connection?
L’Heure Verte is the original behind Green Absinthe. Absinthe and licorice are the obvious points to follow, but violet leaf, patchouli, vetiver and woods matter too. We’d pay attention to that greener side after the opening settles. If you enjoy an anise-like idea in a fragrance, the surrounding woody notes are worth trying alongside it.

What would we look for in a sample?
We’d give both fragrances a similar number of sprays on separate wrists, then come back after the opening settles. Check the parts you enjoy most: the brightness at the start, the balance through the middle and the way the finish feels close to skin.
