L'Artisan Parfumeur Launches Coeur de Vétiver Sacré: An offering to the gods, a mystical journey between West and East, a woody fragrance, light and magnificent… Highly Recommended by Whom You Know & We are Pleased to Kick Off Our Coverage of L'Artisan Parfumeur!
L'Artisan Parfumeur is an adventurous traveller, inviting you on a mystical journey from East to West with Cœur de Vétiver Sacré. This noble vetiver is as close as possible to the wood itself, like an offering to the gods, a tribute to the dreams born in the mystery of the Orient. Peachy Deegan knows from her journeys with Sniffapalooza that L'Artisan Parfumeur is a top brand in the industry! The natural, earthy scent is unique in a market that is literally oversaturated with cliches in perfume, and this distinguished fragrance is appropriate for both sexes.
This precious wood, or more accurately, this root, with its legendary earthy, smoky aromas sometimes only comes through in the bass notes, humbly emerging after the striking freshness of the top notes. It all starts with a citrus influence - orange, bergamot, crystallized fruits, ginger and dates that give a little touch of originality. The ginger with its fresh, spicy tones recalls the scent of grapefruit. It merges with the tarragon, an aromatic with green notes between aniseed and basil. The fresh start of the fragrance then gives way to a heart built around pepper which brings a slightly smooth, spicy touch. The base reveals a softer vetiver, fresh and woody. Vetiver from Haiti, bringing strength and “masculinity” is blended with the virile vetiver (earth, roots and animal accents…) and the vetiver heart which is akin to the soul of the tree with its delicate, sparkling “feminine” side. This mixture explains the complexity of the perfume. Vetivier is very trendy right now, Peachy surmises, from Tom Ford to Jo Malone to now L'Artisan Parfumeur, we believe each has embraced this component.
The perfumer, Karine Vinchon, loves this noble material and she wanted to create a different, mysterious vetiver by revealing all its facets: its sparkle, enlivened by black tea with bergamot; its peppery side with touches of saffron, coriander, ginger and pink pepper berries; its hints of dried fruit, date and apricot; its vibrant heart accompanied by roses, iris and osmanthus flowers; its woody soul backed by sandalwood, white cedar and gaiac wood; its trail of balsam wreathed in incense, amber, cistus, tonka beans, vanilla and musks; and its shadowy character, animal and smoky, enhanced by labdanum, castoreum and birch.
L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Coeur de Vetiver Sacre is a lush beautiful fragrance. It carries you away to the beautiful gardens of Europe and will tease your senses with hints of fruit, ginger and dates. Had this been a dessert, we would have devoured it instantly! It is slightly peppery and spicy, but smooth and pleasant overall. The Coeur de Vetiver Sacre is a complex fragrance – both feminine and masculine and sparkles with a unique flair.
In keeping with their sophisticated taste we know is ingrained at L'Artisan Parfumeur, Coeur de Vetiver Sacre both come beautifully wrapped in lovely presentation boxes – a perfect little gift of luxury for yourself or someone else.
