The aura of illicitness and mystery surrounding absinthe has played into modern literature, movies, and television and people throughout history have attributed to absinthe an aphrodisiac power. Banned in France for 85 years for its supposed hallucinogenic and addictive properties, Absinthe (the alcoholic drink derived from the wormwood plant) was revived in 1995 by the distiller Pascal Rolland under the name "Versinthe". It was immediately, and simultaneously, both internationally prized and strongly condemned. A collaboration with Marc Villaceque, the renowned aromatician, from Grasse (the perfume capital of the world) has brought together the skills of cold extraction, heat concentration and alembic distillation to obtain a pure essence of the absinthe plant. Out of curiosity and as yet another challenge, the pair added the essence of another banned substance, cannabis, and together with 49 other essences the most extraordinary perfume of the decade has been created - Absolute Absinthe

Building upon this success in the regeneration of perfumery based upon the most exquisite natural materials comes two news scents, Luxury Overdose "Le Parfum" which retains the absinthe "DNA" of the brand, and Luxury Overdose "Le Pluie d'Osmanthe" which takes us to entirely new levels of exquisite creativity.
