I got day-old grass clippings that vanished in about half an hour, for which I was grateful. Lucky I tried the sample, too. None of them move me at all. Absinthe is disappointing and pale instead of vivid and sharp. The bottles remind me of a long-ago perfume, but I can't remember which one. Which suits me well, I can just forget the whole bunch.

I also like the bottles, but probably won't be rushing to purchase one anytime soon. "Rather expensive to be so fleeting" is really my gripe with SO many fragrances. I still (foolishly) want the price of something to have some correlation with its lasting power. Alas, it's not to be, and sometimes it's a blessing to discover that something CHEAP (yet pleasant) can actually be applied before heading to the office and still be DETECTABLE if not going strong into the dinner hour.

The poor longevity (I agree) is the worst part of it. I did not smell mint, but now that you're mentioning the cilantro note (which many people detect as a soapy note in food), it makes me want to resniff it. I have a sample of Absinthe waiting for me to try it at home - a few guys on Basenotes LUV this stuff even more so than Fou d'Absinthe (L'Artisan) the scent I perhaps judge all absinthe prominent scents by. Duro is fantastic - please try it. I happen to love Hindu Grass – the spicy transparency (which Rousse by Serge Lutens tries to achieve and fails) is the best part of it.
