Like the last breath of sun at the end of a summer's day, Mark Buxton Wood & Absinth Eau de Parfum is a fragrance of intimate warmth & impending shade. The friction between coolness & heat is at the core of this scent. An orb of light suspended in twilight, it captures that magic moment between day & night fall, when the balminess of the air turns ever crisper. This contrast is reflected in Wood & Absinth's blend of contrasting notes, from the green bite of absinth & the vibrating freshness of vetiver, to the heady warmth of rosewood & cedar wood. Our Fragrance Expert Says: ' Buxton describes the note of absinth as being 'awkward to dress up' due to its strong green & bitter facets, therefore it'll be no surprise that his approach to the note is decidedly unusual. Pairing it with notes of vetiver & clary sage, the absinth here is soapy & evocative of an old school gentleman's aftershave. Woods in the base strengthen the interplay between bitter spirits & earthy vetiver, allowing for a rugged intensity to shine through in the fragrance's latter stages. It's altogether rather impressive & shows absinth in an entirely new light, one where the darker aspects are tamed into a rather dapper presentation.'
