INTRODUCTION
A change of hands to a skilled family of perfumers with over 100 years of expertise, marks a new chapter in the history of L’Artisan Parfumeur. With this new beginning comes a fresh perspective; a return to the brand’s roots fuelled by the desire to allow its iconic heritage to flourish, and to reveal its love of nature and the new, as well as Jean Laporte’s original passion for perfume.
A pioneering spirit with a contemporary vision that has endured for 40 years, L’Artisan Parfumeur is a contrasting celebration of both the classic and the modern.
HISTORY
L’Artisan Parfumeur was the result of a challenge, a plaisanterie. Due to his training as a chemist, a friend asked Jean Laporte if he could create a banana scent to wear with a costume of the same fruit to a gala evening at the Folies Bergères. This was quickly followed by grapefruit and vanilla fragrances.
He experimented and created original scents with “natural essences”. With the success of his first line of fragrances, Jean Laporte was named L’Artisan Parfumeur – the craftsman of fragrance – by perfume enthusiasts.
PERFUMES
L’Artisan Parfumeur’s classic fragrances remain unchanged throughout its 40-year history. A true mark of confidence in its alchemy, the perfumes are as modern today as they ever were.
Made with passion and artisanal finesse to symbolise a different olfactory journey, each fragrance carries with it creative freedom and artistic flair: the hallmark of its master perfumer.
In homage to its founding philosophy, the fragrances take you on a journey of exploration, one that fuses the careful craft of man with the beauty of nature. As experts of their craft, each of our master perfumers understands the harmony and structure of their chosen notes, notes that shift and flow subtly as the fragrance unfolds on the skin.
THE BOTTLE
A new era calls for change.
Bringing to mind all the mystery and allure of an apothecary den, L’Artisan Parfumeur’s new bottle is resplendent in dark, smoky glass.
Each elegant bottle carries the brand’s stamped emblem, a silent insignia of L’Artisan Parfumeur’s dedicated craftsmanship and genuine authenticity.
The bottle’s signature heavy cap and iconic heptagonal shape remain, not simply as an ode to understated modernity but as the brand’s distinctive seal, reaching back into its past and striding forth into its future.
