• L’Artisan Parfumeur Vanille Absolument/Havana Vanille EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.12.17 | Category: fragrance, video reviews | Response: 6

   

  L’Artisan Parfumeur Havana Vanille is sweet. It’s more “vanille” than “Havana”. So, perhaps that is why the name has been changed to Vanille Absolument. Or because of a lawsuit.

  

  Havana Vanille opens with a balsamic vanilla bean pod with a spiced rum. The vanilla is a realistic vanilla bean pod. It seems “leathery” and oily. The rum is there and I like it. But, the clove throws my nose off a bit. It’s medicinal to me. But, with some… Continue reading | 6 Comments

• L’Artisan Parfumeur Couer de Vetiver Sacre EDT Review

  I should love L’Artisan Parfumeur Couer de Vétiver Sacré but I don’t. Perhaps this is a “me dysfunction” and I will explain this later. There’s nothing wrong with the fragrance and it has many notes that I love. I’ve tried to fall in love with it, but I haven’t.

  Couer de Vétiver Sacré opens with some smokiness that reminds me of gunpowder black tea with the faintest amount of sweet orange oil. I then get chewy dried fruits, especially apricot, with exotic spices… Continue reading | 2 Comments

• L’Artisan Parfumeur Voleur de Roses EDT Fragrance Review

  In a world grossly saturated by rose-oud combos in the niche perfume market and rapidly approaching the mainstream perfume market, one could sniff L’Artisan Parfumeur Voleur de Roses and think “Great, another woody-rose, they’re all jumping on the woody-rose bandwagon and I wanted off three bus stops ago.” However, Voleur de Roses was launched in 1993. Voleur de Roses was doing dark, masculine roses before dark, masculine roses was cool.

  Voleur de Roses opens harshly with a very camphoric patchouli and it’s slightly astringent. I… Continue reading | 18 Comments

  The Lipstick League – week of 7.4.11

  Question of the Week: – What’s a beauty trend that you wish would go away?

  EauMG’s Answer: In the fragrance world - celebrity scents. We’re all sick of them. Why do they keep showing up? I can’t believe I’m saying this, but oud. It’s over. It’s dead. It’s the new pink pepper. It’s a shame, but it should go away for at least 6 more years. And the other thing I’m sick of is all of these

• L’Artisan Parfumeur Piment Brulant EDT Perfume Review

  Who eats peppers everyday? Me. Who goes through more bottles of hot sauce, dried peppers, and powdered peppers in a month than most people do in a year? Me. Who wants to smell like a fresh, red sweet pepper? Me. I’m a Southern gal and I love my peppers. I swear, I skipped Gerber rice cereal and was given pureed jalapeños instead. I’m a pepper thrill seeker. And since I’ve been hooked on hot since childhood, nothing ever seems hot enough anymore…except for L’Artisan’s… Continue reading | 9 Comments
