L'Eau de L'Artisan

The first time I tried this scent I was immediately transported back to my childhood. Memories of summer on the beach with my younger cousin and Ldb sun tanning lotion. I really can’t explain why, but it was a gorgeous feeling and it only happened the very first time. It really hit the back of my brain and evoked so many hidden memories. There’s no sweetness here just clean water,lemon and lovely soothing herbs. Perfekt summer scent. The simplicity, purity, fresh clean spirit knocked me down completely. I simply adore this beautiful gem. Imo it’s a masterpiece. I definitely do believe that this is a must try and that it’s suitable for both women and men for sure. Though I’m not extremely good at picking out special notes I look at this scent as a whole bundle of joy that cheers me up and strengthens me when I need it. As said before here, not very long lasting unfortunately. About 2-3 hours on my skin.It has become one of my absolutely favourites. I can’t live without it!

I really love this Eau, but I agree that it is not massively different from others such as Eau de Cartier, Eau de L'Hadrian, Eau de Guerlain (and Imperiale), etc. I like how this one has a dry down that is quite soft and green, with a hint of white pepper (I don't see it mentioned here but to my nose it is very present, as with Eau de Cartier). It lasts a lot longer than many Eau's, and somehow keeps its freshness longer as well. It smells high quality all the way through the day and is very easy to wear. I think it is unisex but I somehow imagine it more on a woman than a man, even though it is not traditionally feminine (whatever that means). It is green without being sharp. This type of fragrance is perfect for work, for summers, for feeling fresh, for after a shower. It's also great for dinners when you don't want to compete with the food or add a weird note (who wants to smell flowers while eating sushi?).

L'Eau de L'Artisan is a zesty herbal infusion with just a hint of spices. The citrus I get in it is more of lemon peel scent rather than the pulp. It is very easy to wear, I don't find it overpowering or strong yet you can still smell it. You get initial burst of spices but then it fades to citrus green scent with a hint of tea. It doesn't change much, just slowly fades. I live in very warm climate so I appreciate light perfumes that don't overpower. I'm happy to have L'Eau de L'Artisan in my collection as it is very different to a lot of other scents out there.

Ah yes, bring on the hot weather -I'm now prepared! Great smelling high quality citrus that has the touch of powdery that I love. Just a touch though or it would be too cloying. Fresh and very European smelling which means to me I wear it and the smell takes my mind somewhere else.... As for the price...I was lucky enough to get 100mls for less than $50.00 at a discounters so of course I'm happy! Regardless that this smells unique and sensational I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy this at full price. I never do - I'm a deal watcher. Watch for the deals!!

One of two beautiful blind buys from L’artisan and I have to say I’m really falling in love with this house. These work really well with my chemistry. This offering is green and masculine but gorgeous for women to wear as well. A darker more hearty green like kale as opposed to iceberg lettuce. It doesn’t smell of kale that’s just an analogy lol. It smells like verbena but not that high pitched version this is more mysterious to my nose. I’m digging it. Yeah a solid love.

This is a great citrus/herbal fragrance, very green. I get the bright lemony opening but it never turns soapy on me. The basil and marjoram are present as an herbal background, with a soft verbena. I get a bit of the tea note in the drydown with the woods and moss. The only problem is the lamentably short longevity and sillage that many of the L'Artisan fragrances have. I love it anyway!

I believe that Olivia Giacobetti intended for this to be ephemeral - and it is. Fortunately, it can be sprayed on clothing, and it blooms in the heat. I really love it for the same reason I love O de Lancôme; refreshment of body and soul, and communion with nature.

Very well blended fragrance. Refined, elegant fresh scent. Beautiful composition of citruses and herbs. Very inoffensive. Stays close to skin. Great for hot weather. Love it. Wish it lasted longer. Stays on my skin about 1 max 1.5 hr.

running out of this bottle but can't buy new one coz it's sooo expensive. it smells clean and fresh. love to wear it in summer.

Masterpiece of freshness and lightness, no matter brief. Giacobetti at her best and most ethereal. Sadly discontinued by Puig.

When I initially came across this perfume and dab the first bit on there I was like D= it's definitely for a guy! Then after the opening it smells nice and lemony almost like smelling freshly cut lemongrass. This sort of reminds me of chanel no.19 abit without that aggressiveness. The more I apply it, the more I think I like it! this is very different for me as my wardrobe tends to gravitate towards sweetness. As a unisex scent I think this is such a good balance it is nice and centered. The mint in this makes it nice, sharp and pleasant for a hot summer day. This one actually lasts quite abit on me, but remains as a skin scent after the hour. Only the ones close enough get the privilege to catch its beauty. I love how this can be such a summery scent without it being a fruit cocktail and I like how this scent does have the lemon note but it's just so smooth as with previous citrus scents can come across smelling like bug spray or the real sharp "up your nose" smell. It is a really good day/hot night scent. When I wear this I can't help but feel positively uplifted, invigorated, with a slight glamour to it I picture a man with that Sexy Sean Connery ruggedness wearing this scent. I picture a young woman with a killer tan on the beachside sporting a very sexy jumpsuit. This invokes experiences I've never had before and that's what I like in a perfume. This is a great unisex perfume indeed, alas my student lifestyle (budget) is yet to cater for such a fragrance! Thank you ChickenPotPie :D

With crisp, almost peppery citrus, lemon verbena and lavender, this is a classic “fresh” cologne. It’s supposed to also contain mint and basil, but they’re so played down that they’re not recognizable as such. Instead, they simply provide nuances for the main notes. Like other fragrances of its genre, this one is very short-lived. The phase during which there’s some sillage lasts for about 30 minutes but, after that, all that’s left is a green herbal skin scent that fades away in 2-3 hours. Like any other natural-smelling citrus-herbal cologne, this would be a good scent to wear in situations where one has to be close to people who may hate perfume. The fragrance is barely there, but noticeable as a green, outdoorsy note like a freshly mown lawn in which the lawnmower caught some stragglers from the herb garden as well as the grass. It’s not something I’d go out and buy, but given that I have a sample, I’ll probably use it occasionally.

L’Eau de L’Artisan is a wonderful unisex scent that’s well suited for the summer months. I wore this one out bushwalking. It’s quite zingy and not cloying, which I think is ideal for the outdoors. However, I think that this perfume would be best on someone whose chemistry likes both green and citrus notes. On my skin, the scent begins with some lovely bursting green accords. They are lush, vibrant and refreshing. Most unfortunately, they are tainted by a soapy lemon accord which reminds me of dishwashing liquid. The dry-down is softer as the herbal notes begin to loose some of their brightness. Whilst the fragrance itself is not unpleasant, but I think that it needs a sparkle which is preventing me from rushing out and buying a bottle. Soft to very soft sillage (it’s mainly a skin scent); lasts for about 3-4 hours.

Perfect for lifting up the mood, just perfect. Very high quality ingredients, so L’Eau De L’Artisan is not a cheap synthetic citrus smell that hits you with a blast of chemicals. I have a sample of Jo Malone’s Lime Basil and Mandarin, and L’Artisan wins hands down. Compared to Malone’s cologne, this is fresher, more lemon verbena in it, less basil (I’m so glad!). All the herbs combined play louder than citrus here, lemony-lime notes act more like a background for different spicy herbs. I don’t get mint, but I get some pepper instead which I like – it adds zing. And the drydown is purely absinth on wood -two of my favourites! Extremely wearable scent, smells like summer in warmer countries.

Hello friends, bought a L’Artisan “Mystery” bottle that is missing its label, and from the scent profile and descriptions listed I think it might be this.. I’d love to be able to confirm. Wondering if anyone who is familiar with this scent would be accepting of a sample from my bottle in exchange for your help with its identification? It is a vintage gold 100ml, and used to have the thin vertical label. I smell a mix of green herbs and verbena- closest thing I have to compare is D & G Velvet Pure, but in this the mint is prominent. First few mins there is a bit of grass/cucumber/green pepper I think. Would love to get it positively ID’d with your help! Thanks 😊

L'Eau de L'Artisan is green and quite light summer scent. It has nice lemon scent with sweetish grass from the start with some herbs on the side, but quickly grassiness and lemon goes away and only herbaceous dry down is left. It is nice but nothing special. Unfortunately L’Eau de L’Artisan has very poor longevity, hour or so of nice grassiness at the beginning and the dry down doesn’t really stay that long either. Sillage isn’t much of a monster either, but that is something that I can forgive for a hot weather casual scent, but that longevity is something that I can’t really deal with L’Eau de L’Artisans price point.

In the Middle East, Turkey and probably else where, a cologne bottle with a hole on top is provided next to the washing sink to squeeze, sprinkle, and rub your hands with; especially after eating fish by hand... Did you guess ? It smells exactly like this perfume ! I don't LOVE or HATE it. I just appreciate it for its simplicity, accepting the smell as it is, not judging. Fresh spicy/ herbal/ minty/ lemony scents such as this one are typically known as summer or daytime fragrances. But I don't agree; I think it depends on mood and creativity, since I tried it in winter and loved it <3

i just received it today and although some time is needed to understand the perfume, i have to say that it reminds no other perfume, it reminds Cyprus mountains. I get the smell of thyme and a light smell from oregano, all of them wrapped in some lemon juice. The longevity on my skin is more than 6-7 hours but in order to smell it a bit, you have to be out in the sun. It is a summer light perfume, it needs hot weather to show. It would be better if it was a bit stronger but l'artisan suffers from this issue. Most of their perfumes are skin scents snd this is the lightest.

Green and citrus, how much I adore simple scents! No fancy stories here, no secret ingredient, just plain wonderful lemon mixed with herbs. The moss and the wood notes give to this composition a body, which otherwise would be a fabulous intoxicating but fleeting fresh green breeze. It smells like a tea party in a garden, warm sun, white umbrellas, soft breeze and the raw smell of a vegetables garden. The longevity is poor and yet I think this fragrance is still worth every penny. If you enjoy green, herbal fragrances, don't miss to try L'Eau de L'Artisan.

I was so excited by Dzing! and how beutifull is and i orded this blindly as it was created by OG. Most of her perfumes are pure masterpieces including tea for two, idole de Lubin, phylosykos and many others. Im interested in this here, to see how masterfully the citrus were blented with herbs to create a unique citrus perfume, something that we dont see very often as citrus are citrus and more or less all share certain things and are not unique. Will get it soon from the post and say what and how i see it.
