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.

Ripe figs drenched in Mediterranean sunlight

Premier Figuier Extrême is a more intense eau de parfum version of the original iconic fig scent. The fig tree is still standing drenched in Mediterranean sunlight, branches laden with fruit. This time however, the figs are riper, oozing and bruised, the air heavy with their purple/green aromas. The Extrême is woodier, darker, the green notes more sheer, allowing the fruits and woods to become the focus of the composition. Touches of gorse and sandalwood balance out the sweetness. For lovers of the original Premier Figuier this is a bewitching addition to their collection.

Juicy blackberries and musk; a L'Artisan Parfumeur icon

Timeless and daring, Mûre et Musc (Blackberry and Musk) has been an iconic L'Artisan Parfumeur fragrance since its creation in 1978. It has never lost its power to charm and enthrall. Its success is due to a beautiful contrast in the structure between the sparkling top notes and the enveloping warm evolution of the scent's development on the skin. This intriguing contrast makes it perfect for the summer and the depths of winter. The mix of succulent blackberry, the glory of musk and deep reassuring woods wrap the wearer in warmth and sensuality. Mûre et Musc is full of mystery and contradictions. It has been imitated and scrutinised in order to unlock its secrets, but these are closely guarded and passionately defended by the many fans of this most original of fragrance icons.

The scent of the forest, with a fairytale twist

Bertrand Duchaufour's abstract portrait of the hazelnut tree. Méchant Loup (Big Bad Wolf) is alive with forest scents: dry leaves, smoke and woods. But in the air is a whiff of fairytales, bittersweet liquorice and an addictive praline note that softens our view of Mr Wolf. Is he just a roguish charmer or the shadow behind the trees? Now, who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

The scent of southern France, white walls, shutters half closed against the heat. A light breeze pushes its way in, carrying with it the green woody scent of fig trees nestling against the garden walls outside.
