I have been badly disappointed by this new line from LArtisan and Deliria is no exception despite my love for metallic smells, anything smelling like apples, candy floss, toffee. Reading the notes,...

I must agree with lconover. This product is amazingly like the scent, but as a shower gel, it's not all that. A small amount lathers well and leaves my skin and bathroom deliciously scented, but...

Very nice texture, very moisturizing. The floral scent is quite heavy and plasticky compared to the EdT; I found it just so-so. I got this as part of the Discovery Set and it became one of those...

I like the work of Bertrand Duchaufour, I like LArtisan but I am rather underwhelmed with this new line from of the house.

This and its slightly honeyed, winter queen sister L'eau d'Hiver are two fragrances that I have difficulty depicting. I think both are powerful, deep and complex fragrances despite their surface...

This is one of my favourite fragrances for spring and summer, and also a great moodlifter during winter days. Coupled with a bit of sunshine from between the clouds, it always makes me happy on a...

I tested Skin on Skin without reading the notes and immediately it reminded me of L'Artisan's earlier masterpiece, Iris Pallida. It has a similar orris accord, though weaker, and Skin on Skin is...

Of the three new L'Artisans, this is the most interesting. It's still not great, or by any means inspiring me to buy even a larger decant. The notes in this one are cedar, milk, caramel,...

Deliria is tooth achingly sweet. So much so that I cannot really detect much in the way of notes beyond the sweetness. Supposedly, there is metal, rum, candy floss and toffee apple in here. The...

I love Bois Farine. It's my favorite L'Artisan and I own 4 of them (the other 3 I have are Passage d'Enfer, La Chasse Aux Papillons, & Vanilia).
I ordered Bois Farine unsniffed roughly a year...

This reminds me of Keiko Mecheri's Rahat Loukoum. There's almond, powder and thick honey notes along with the namesake vanilla. Definitely gourmand, it's a long lasting and sweet fragrance.

I recently tried Vanille Absolument and what can I say, it's Vanilla Perfume Lover's Heaven.
It's rich and thich and sticky and boozy. I would swear I smelled benzoin too but it must be the...

Passage d'Enfer smells more like redemption than sin to me (in lieu of the darker, more ominous overtones its name suggests), but it's a lovely juxtaposition. It takes on a calming (albeit...

First impressions: first smell is smoky, tobbaco .. it evolves into leathery something.. and then into a woody, smoky , quite nice, dense scent. I don´t think this is a teenage, young, sweet...

This is a limited edition signed by Olivia Giacobetti and an uplifting burst of happiness according to L'Artisan web site. However, on my skin, it's too heavy on the base notes to be the succulent...

I tried to like this but I just couldn't. Mainly what I get from Timbuktu is a nice vetiver with frankincense and some clean woods. I'm not a big fan of vetiver (though I do like Monsieur Balmain)....

A few months ago I acquired a sample of CdVS and thought of it as “not bad†and “nothing specialâ€. Boy, was I mistaken. I consider CdVS to be a vetiver and tea composition, but it’s...

Leave it to Olivia Giacobetti to create a frankincense fragrance that's light and airy, so unlike the heavy incenses you commonly find. I get the cool dank stone of an ancient building; fresh water...
