L’Heure Verte

L’Heure Verte, a Green Absinthe Scent

Kilian L’Heure Verte is a green absinthe scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with absinthe before a violet leaf and licorice heart settles over patchouli, vetiver, and sandalwood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Kilian built L’Heure Verte around absinthe, all bittersweet green herbs and soft licorice over earthy patchouli and vetiver. The idea was a refined, distinctive freshness.

That green smoothness is its appeal. The absinthe keeps it crisp and herbal, the violet leaf and licorice add a soft, green heart, and the patchouli and vetiver give it an earthy base. Our interpretation follows that same distinctive path.
