Announced by Now Smell This for September 2021 under the name L’Heure Verte and renamed Fièvre Verte in 2023, the perfume Mathieu Nardin composed for Kilian pays tribute to absinthe: an absinthe essence, a heart of violet leaf and licorice, and a base of patchouli, woody notes, earthy woods, vetiver and sandalwood.
The house singles out three notes, absinthe, violet leaf and patchouli. Its pyramid places absinthe alone in the top, pairs violet leaf with licorice in the heart, and keeps for the base a patchouli accompanied by woody notes. Its essence opens the composition with a sharp stroke.
Violet and licorice
The absinthe essence leads straight, the house describes, to a nostalgic heart that marries licorice root absolute with violet leaf. Now Smell This also lists cypress among the launch notes.
Patchouli and woods
The base articulates, according to the house, a precisely chosen facet of patchouli that resonates throughout the composition and blends into a trio of earthy woods, with vetiver and sandalwood. Charlotte Bitmead also picks out vanilla.
