L'Artisan Parfumeur Thé Pour un Eté

A floaty, translucent Jasmine tea scent, with a bright but soft mint-citrus opening. Perfection!

*****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Aedes de Venustas

Deliciously smoky woody incense, with a fruity tanginess. Easily better than Aedes "own".

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Dzonghka

Vegetal capsicum note surrounded by smoky tea and dry, cold incense and woods. Crisp. Bemusing.

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu

There's something about this that's deeply sexy, like smelling your man's shirt the next day.

*****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Bois Farine

The warm, comforting smell of flour - yes, flour, not flower! Curious perhaps, compelling? Not so sure. 

***

L'Artisan Parfumeur L'Eau D'Ambre

A mild, sweet, powdery take on amber: inoffensive, but ultimately lacking the hinterland you expect. 

**

L'Artisan Parfumeur Batucada

A vivacious Brazilian cocktail that's great fun before it falls off the wagon into dull musky territory

***

L'Artisan Parfumeur Vanille Absolument

Sun kissed & rum soaked vanilla. Creamy, smoky, delicious & oddly sheer in parts. Cuban Vanilla

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Safran Troublant

Delicious vanilla gourmand fragrance, like a delicate rose-watered Indian rice pudding. Wearable and tenacious.

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Nuit de Tubéreuse

An interesting take on tuberose. Peppery & green, like plant stems. Unsettlingly sour. Discordant

***

L'Artisan Parfumeur Ambre Extrême

A warm, vanilla amber with hints of chai tea and spices. Not extreme. Works well as a home fragrance

***

L'Artisan Coeur de Vétiver Sacré

Sweet osmanthus-apricot, smoky tea-vetiver, sparkly pepper & vanilla-ginger. A little too much at once.

***

L'Artisan Parfumeur D'Humeur a Rien

Sweet, fruity and spicy incense. Straightforward.

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Tea for Two

A cup of honeyed chai tea with an offbeat ashtray note. Rich & sweet but perhaps a little bit too much

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Passage d'Enfer

White floral incense similar to Nu but less peppery and more churchey. Subtle & dry. Holy Smoke

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Navegar

Seems fuzzy & unclear at first - a big green blast. Settles to a smart, woody, lime & juniper scent. Breezy

***

L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh

Sweet & funky oud with an animalistic vibe, coupled with dry leather & woods. Fairly linear. Barnyard Chic

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Dzing!

Damp cardboard box, ink, wood chips & a faecal "beast" with a lightweight feel. Addictive & cozy

****

L'Artisan Parfumeur Traversée du Bosphore

Fresh apple, sweet rose & nutty pistachio Turkish Delight with a touch of suede. Delicious
