The sumptuous and captivating scents of a dreamlike nature. L’Artisan Parfumeur opens the doors of the Orient and invites to dream.

A collection of tales and legends, which offers the image of an East praised by dreams and fables and celebrate a rich and opulent nature.

Being guided by his emotions, the perfumer Christophe Raynaud sowed in these stories some native ingredients of an Orient of wonders: Turkish rose, saffron, cedarm incense. An idealized, reinvented Orient a nod to the ancestral and mysterious cradle of perfumery.

LÉGENDES DU CÈDRE

The perfumer wanted to create an almost mystical emotion of what he nicely calls a “woody nectar” built around a creamy cedar with warm and gourmet accents of saffron and muscade nuts. The presence of the enchanting resins of ciste and labdanum evokes the warm earth of the Orient. This innovative combination of cedar and fiery spices dyes this perfume with an aura of mystery and makes the journey madly enigmatic.

BOIS DES SABLES

There can be no clearer or more encompassing depiction of the perfumer’s creative obsession, crystallised around one idea: wood, wood and more wood! It was incredibly bold to create this woody bouquet, skilfully composed, blending patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, oud and cedar. A bed of unctuous vanilla that beautifully coats this wood “forest” to nourish and then tenderise it.

CONTES DU LEVANT

The perfumer wanted to capture the green and spicy scent of a Damask Rose treated in majesty, just infused with sumptuous notes of incense and patchouli. He succeeds in putting in tension the freshness of this Turkish rose and the addictive warmth of the pepper and ciste trio. This fragrance, entirely structured around the favourite flower of the Orientals, deploys its aura of mystery on the skin.

FABLES D’ORIENT

You have to imagine the image of a “flower milk” that has been brought to life in the perfumer’s mind. A material, a texture as much as a smell. Its incarnation is the sun- radiated heliotrope flower, with its unctuous and creamy fragrance. The nutmeg, with its warm, peppery scent, making it irresistibly addictive. The last piece of the puzzle, ensuring the fragrance blends with the skin, is the magical vibration of amber and the cottony comfort of musk, which close the accord on a sensual and comforting note.

ODE À L’OUDH

The perfumer had long dreamed of a fruit liquor with floral accents, as sweet as a flow of honey down the throat, with the effect almost of a mysterious potion. He made it the beating heart of the perfume, the soul, the very essence of his creation. Even in the base, the perfumer has favoured simplicity: a leathery-animal note suggested by oud wood, resonating perfectly with saffron and vanilla bean. A fragrance “imprinted” with the necessary roundness and comfort.
