Today, with the help of Perfumer Céline Ellena, the brand reimagines the never commercialised fragrance that started its story… 

Freckles of pepper and amber sublime the heart of this baroque perfume by presenting its aura in chiaroscuro, in which the unusual main ingredient, Banana, can shine sovereign. The Jasmin flower, mistakenly naïve, creates a milky and carnal link between the balms and the shimmer from the fruit. Violet flowers, slightly bitter, overlaid with nutmeg, raw and biting, create the sensation of the banana skin. Iris and Tonka bean, highly generous materials with imposing textures, brighten the irresistibly sensitive trail of the scent.

Premier Figuier marks an innovative milestone in the history of perfume. Imagine lying under the shade of a magnificent fig tree in the south of France. The fresh leaves, milky sap, warm air, sweet fruit, and even the cool shade cast beneath this tree were all captured for this scent. The magic of this fragrance also lies in the dreamlike quality it evokes of sensual layers of light, movement and scent. 

An ingrained memory of the sunset atop the earth walls of Taroudant; the warm light intensifies the colours of the raw land and the air freshens. An Eau imbued with light, delicate and pure.

Unlike other Oriental fragrances, Noir Exquis takes place in one of the most romantic destinations in the world. This chance rendezvous happens in a patisserie. There is the aroma of confectionery and cakes in this traditional and charming French venue. This fragrance is a true gourmand delicacy of glazed chestnuts, candied orange and maple syrup. There is the addictive aroma of coffee. Noir Exquis connects these two people in this moment forever. 

Fascinated by the wild Brittany coast, the perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou wanted to capture its iodized oxygen in a bottle.

To delicately evoke the sea sprays, she first composed a marine accord imagined as a salt vapour. A canevas on which she overlayed the absolute of seaweed and the absolute of cypress, which balance the tempestuous heart of the fragrance and also bring a touch of green that evokes Britanny.

On the skin, the breeze gives way to an addictive softness... The storm outside progressively becomes a comforting murmur.

L’Eau d’Ambre Extrême is a more complex and intense rendition of the original, L’Eau d’Ambre. Master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena has created a bold oriental with amber as the main theme. Cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon and mace are unmistakably oriental and reminiscent of an exotic Eastern spice market. The powdery vanilla and floral notes enhance the amber accord, creating a mysterious and dreamy oriental. It is the most oriental and voluptuous of elixirs. 

The iconic Mûre et Musc takes on a new twist with an addition of dark purple berries. Blackcurrant has been added to the crisp blackberry note of the original scent creating a new luscious intensity. Together with the sensuality of musk and orange blossom this fragrance results in a fruity epicurean delight. Mûre et Musc Extrême is for the bold with a flair for the daring and dramatic. 

Passage d’Enfer pays homage to the Parisian location of L’Artisan Parfumeur’s office in the 1970s. It conjures up images of chilled cathedral walls and echoes of rituals and incantations. Translucent lily and white musk sweeten the balsamic smoke of incense. Passage d’Enfer is also a wicked play on words, the symbolic “Hells passage”, a moment caught between two worlds. The name may be dark and unsettling, but the scent itself is tranquil and contemplative.
