Wormwood

10 perfumes

Wormwood, or Artemisia absinthium, is a bitter, herbaceous botanical distilled into a potent essential oil. Its olfactive profile is sharp, medicinal, and cooling, characterized by dry, green, and slightly anise-like facets. Typically appearing in the top or heart notes, it provides a sophisticated, bracing contrast to heavy compositions. In Gulf perfumery, wormwood is prized for its ability to cut through the richness of dense oud and sweet amber, adding a refined, aromatic complexity that feels both timeless and bracingly modern.
