url-1L’Artisan Parfumeur is one of the most unique and iconic fragrance houses in the world. Working with imagination, exceptional raw materials and visionary perfumers, this perfume house has created some of the most intriguing, singular and deeply personal scents over the years.

L’Artisan Parfumeur was founded in Paris in 1976 by perfumer-chemist Jean Laporte and was one of the first of a movement of exclusive niche fragrance houses inspired by nature and a desire to do things a little differently. A combination of classicism, avant-garde fragrance creation, innovative collaborations and an insistence of the highest quality materials has created a body of original, sometimes surprising work. This blending of artisanal fragrance creation and contemporary artistic flair has captured the heart of fragrance aficionados looking for quality, craftsmanship and authenticity.

L’Artisan Parfumeur fragrances are created from blends of the highest quality natural ingredients and the latest technologies in fragrance chemistry. Good perfumers instinctively understand the importance of harmony within fragrance, choosing the right notes to create subtle shifts and flow in the structure of accords and compositions. Each scent meets the skin and interacts with heat and personal chemistry, creating a perfect marriage of fragrance notes and wearer. Scents are alcohol based and designed in specific strengths, eau de toilette and eau de parfum. These industry generic descriptions apply to the percentages of ingredients to alcohol ratio and give an indication to how long the scent will last on the skin.

 

Many of L’Artisan fragrances are innovations. In 1976 L’Artisan created a very unique home fragrance, the Amber Ball. Each ball is handmade by mother and daughter artisans in the historic French départment of L’Oise and contains exotic amber crystals. The fragrance lasts approximately two years, and can be replaced with refille when needed.

Another innovation in the perfume world was the iconic Mûre et Musc fragrance created in 1978. A beautiful blend of blackberry and musk, its success was due to the witty and daring contrast in the structure between sparkling top notes and an enveloping warm evolution of the scent’s seductive development on the skin. The first of its kind on the market, it remains a global bestseller and set the benchmark for L’Artisan Parfumeur creativity. In1994 Premier Figuier was created in all its glory – the first known fig fragrance, whose composition includes the whole tree odor: branches, leaves and fruit.

 

From their Grande Boutique in Paris opposite the Palais du Louvre, L’Artisan Parfumeur has expanded across the world, delighting and intriguing generations of perfume lovers with style, originality and that all important French je ne sais quoi…..
