A vibrant woody floral inspired by ancient Malian rituals

Timbuktu is a totally original and vibrant perfume, inspired by a journey to Mali in West Africa by perfumer Betrand Duchaufour. A study of contrasts in its exotic African roots and innate French sophistication, Timbuktu takes inspiration from the fragrance ritual Wusulan used by generations of Malian women to scent their hair and skin. Potent blends of flower roots, balms and spices are thought to bring love and sensuality into the lives of these heavenly scented women. This takes perfumery back to its roots as the word perfume translates literally as per fumum or through smoke, offering up combinations of scented balms and resins to the gods above. Timbuktu has piquant notes of green mango and creamy karo-karoundé flower to balance the pink pepper, cardamom, and vetiver. Cloaked in smoke from papyrus wood, incense and patchouli, this sensual and airy scent is beautifully ancient yet profoundly modern.

Sun-dappled sensuality in the shade of an extraordinary tree

Premier Figuier was created for l’Artisan Parfumeur by Olivia Giacobetti. Its name (The First Fig Tree) is a reference to its importance as the first perfume composed around a fig theme. There are others now, but Premier Figuier is the benchmark against which all others are measured. Imagine lying beneath a fig tree in the South of France; the air is hot, the scent of green leaves, sap, stalks, woods, sticky fruit. This is Premier Figuier. Almond milk provides an unusual creamy counterpoint to the green and the woods. The fig tree is conjured up in progressively warm and luxurious notes as the fragrance opens up on the skin. From leaves to fruit to sap to branches and the wood of the tree itself. The all-enveloping wood notes in this fragrance make it perfect for both summer and winter wear. Premier Figuier is an evocation of sun-dappled sensuality in the shade of an extraordinary tree.

The delicate scent of sun-kissed skin and intoxicating florals

Imagine a summer garden flooded with sunshine, full of delicate white flowers, jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose and lime blossom; scents mingling to intoxicate the senses. Sunlight catches the wings of butterflies as they dart among the trees and flowers. Somewhere in the garden you can hear the laughter of children as they chase the butterflies, trying in vain to catch them as they escape on a sunny breeze. This is La Chasse aux Papillons (Chasing Butterflies), the scent of sun-kissed skin, luminous and transparent; a fragrance to make the summer months last that little bit longer.

Intoxicating absinthe and warm woods; let the green fairy carry you away

Composed with steely calm and controlled imagination by Olivia Giacobetti, Fou D'Absinthe is a masterpiece of cutting-edge fragrance design.

Fou d'Absinthe smells like madness and taboo busting dreams. The key to its uniqueness is the constant contrast of hot versus cold that plays out across the skin. The harmonies blaze and chill, crackle and burn. Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by this most extraordinary of fragrances.

A magical evocation of the circus; a L'Artisan Parfumeur icon

A true L'Artisan Parfumeur icon. This shockingly unique fragrance, created by Olivia Giacobetti, Dzing! is a magical evocation of a circus of dreams and imagination. Everything is soft hued and slow moving, sights and sounds rolling by in the Big Top. Everything is there, the scent of saddle leather as pretty girls on horses canter by, sawdust, the rosin on the acrobats' hands as they arc through the air, black panther fur, fire-eaters and gasoline, the vintage canvas overhead, the caramel scent of candyfloss and toffee apples. The circus as conceived by L'Artisan Parfumeur, comforting but contrasted with the occasional roar tearing through the night.

An extraordinary union of enchanted woods and baking bread

Bois Farine was created by renowned perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena. This compulsive fragrance is the product of his encounter with a unique tree in the Reunion Islands in the Indian Ocean, a rare and now protected species, reputed to have magical powers. This tree is specific to the Reunion Islands and its red flower smells like baking flour. Ellena was struck by how similar the smell was to the scent of his grandmother’s hands as she baked bread in the kitchen. Bois Farine is the result: an extraordinary union between enchanted wood and the comforting aromas of baking ingredients. As odd as it sounds, Bois Farine is beautifully constructed on a base of precious woods and iris that gives it depth, powder, comfort and addictive wearability
