L'Artisan Perfumer - Rose Privee

We here at The Amazing Blog love a good scent. Our friends at L’Artisan Parfumeur have recently launched a new perfume to feed our fragrance addiction that is simply irresistible. The floral Rose Privée incorporates the rare May Rose for a wonderful smell.

The May Rose is fragile, precious and highly prized. It can only be picked when in bloom during the month of May. With this fragrance, L’Artisan Parfumeur is one of the few brands to blend this flower into their product.

Though May Rose is the star of this fragrance, hints of carnation, magnolia, lilac, basil and violet leaves are also present. This is the perfect scent for spring. It is presented in a luxurious package that we love!

The scent was created by Master perfumer, Bertrand Duchaufour, and  his apprentice, Stéphanie Bakouche. L’Artisan Parfumeur values the tradition of French craftsmanship and this scent was inspired by the South of France.

You can buy Rose Privee L'Artisan Parfumeur here for £77.00

L’Artisan Parfumeur - Batucada

Here at The Amazing Blog we love new summer fragrances. So when L'Artisan Parfumeur sent us a sample of their new Batucada fragrance (in gorgeous packaging) we couldn’t wait to try it and get into the Brazilian carnival feel.

Getting its name from an African influenced Brazilian percussive sub style of samba, this fragrance is in perfect tune with Notting Hill Carnival 2014. The strong lime and mint top notes are reminiscent of the tropical, fruity drinks of a warm, sunny climate. The middle notes of ylang ylang subtly give the fragrance a beachy undertone. Finally, the bottom sea salt note, so reminiscent of holidays, purifies the senses with its salty fresh fragrance, as if we were on the famous Ipanema beach. Light fresh fragrances are available in abundance, but the citrus notes in Batucada transport you to the Brazilian beaches, giving this fragrance an edge on the competition.

L’Artisan Parfumeur is one of France’s most iconic fragrance houses and has been creating gorgeous scents to suit the seasons since its formation in 1976. L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Batucada is available here for £85 for 100ml.

L’Artisan Parfumeur - Explosions D'Emotions

 

Here at The Amazing Blog  we appreciate exciting and gorgeous fragrances, new and old. So, when a brand which encompasses all these characteristics comes along, we are all ears. When L’Artisan Parfumeur, a brand with 38 years experience, sent us samples of their Explosions D’Emotions collection we had to give them a try.

We tried three fragrances, Rapelle-Toi, Onde Sensuelle and Haute Voltige. All three were gorgeous, having the perfect mix of flowers, fruits and woods, but we found our personal favourite was Rapelle-Toi.  Rappelle-Toi is a sweet floral fragrance, made up of gardenia, pepper and sandal wood. It’s really special how the gardenia top notes fade to reveal the spicy Sichuan pepper. Normally I’m not a floral, let alone spicy fragrance lover, but these notes, coupled with the bottom note of honey just work perfectly, making it hard not to enjoy over and over again.

Whether you’re looking for something exotic and unique, or just, like me, love trying new scents, L’Artisan Parfumeur Exploions D’Emotions collection has something to appeal to everyone, even if it’s not your normal fragrance style!

Rappelle-Toi, and other L’Artisan Parfumeur is available to buy here.
