2/12/2024 0 Comments L artisan parfumeur vanillaGive me Eau Duelle over this one any day of the week. I like my vanilla scents with a little less salt and a little more spice. The scent of luxurious furs, of an amber breeze and gold spices. 210.00 Add to Bag L'Eau d'Ambre Extrme Eau de Parfum A trip into the opulence of the 1930s. But I feel they’ve missed the mark here as it ends up being neither here nor there. 260.00 Add to Bag Couleur Vanille Eau de Parfum A salted vanilla created around a woody accord of Immortelle flower, reminiscent of the softness of trade winds. Perhaps, L’Artisan were looking to target those who like their gourmands on the lighter side. ![]() Instead, Couleur Vanille fades into a nondescript musky drydown.Ĭouleur Vanille was always going to be a difficult one for me as the combination of salt and vanilla never seems to work on my skin. I feel if it had been more prominent Couleur Vanille may have held a little more interest. Immortelle is listed as a note but I don’t pick up much of its maple syrup/honey like sweetness. It had disappeared within 3-4 hours, which at this price point is a little hard to digest. A salted vanilla created around a woody accord of immortelle flower, reminiscent of the softness of trade winds. Is this meant to be a summer or winter scent? It certainly wears close to the skin. Two scents that didn’t work at all well on my skin.Ĭouleur Vanille doesn’t feel like an out and out gourmand as the sweet and salty facets seemingly compete against each other for supremacy. The scent feels like a cross between Juliette Has a Gun Vanilla Vibes (salty vanilla) and Hermes Vanille Galante (floral vanilla). The floral notes listed are freesia and orchid, and for mine they don’t mesh well with the vanilla and salt. An unripe banana scent sprinkled with salt, muted vanilla sweetness, and a weird floral note. Sadly, my high expectations were not met.Ĭuriously, Couleur Vanille opens up with a banana like scent. So, I was excited to try their new vanilla based scent and was finally able to secure a sample that I’ve now worn on several occasions. It was one of my favourite niche releases from last year. Last year’s Bana Banana was a cleverly done candied banana scent with an amber drydown. Noir Exquis is a sugar free, caffeine free way to enjoy your coffee with a touch of cream and a pastry. I always have such high expectations of the house. Composed once again by master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour Noir Exquis was inspired by a rendez vous in a Parisian patisserie. I’m interested in trying everything new that comes from this innovative French niche house. Overall 2.L’Artisan Parfumeur – Couleur Vanille – It is always an event when L’Artisan releases a new scent. ![]() Solidly crafted but too generic for some stretches, but the performance is very impressive. A fragrance playing on the contrasting facets of incense its dry and poignant freshness is rounded by the scent of white musk and lilies. A floral heart of white jasmine delicately brings out the lilies. ![]() This is an agreeable autumnal vanilla scent leaning towards the gourmand genre, with some nice original touches that, unfortunately, do not materialise as one would have hoped. A mysterious and deep note of incense, wrapped in sandalwood and vanilla absolute. I get moderate sillage, excellent projection, and a splendid twelve hours of longevity on my skin. A splash of white musks that is evident towards the end is a bit more important though, and joins the vanilla and the benzoin to create a triadic finale. At times a slightly balsamic undertone appears due to the Tolu balm, but it is more an afterthought than a significant contributor to the base notes. The base sees a benzoin arising that merges with the vanilla both work well together. The vanilla gains in strength with time, with touches of a vanilla orchid briefly present too. The drydown adds some cashmere wood, which is a bit generic though. ![]() A touch of the fleur de sel appears transiently without making a major impact. Three notes greet me right from the start and constitute the opening phase on me: a pleasant and bright freesia, a vanilla impression, and a bit of immortelle, but the latter remains rather restrained throughout.
