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.
For Stylist, Charlotte Bitmead considers Fièvre Verte a unique perfume, fresh yet woody, that earns her compliments from strangers.
What critics say
Charlotte Bitmead, Stylist, 16 October 2026
Charlotte Bitmead has nothing like it in her collection and finds it has stayed too far under the radar for its quality. Slightly bitter, with a medicinal twist from the licorice, it earns her, she says, compliments from strangers; she recommends it to lovers of warm, dark and green fragrances.
