L’Artisan Oeillet Sauvage & L’Eau du Caporal ~ reissues

Posted by Robin on 29 November 2014 7 Comments

L'Artisan Oeillet Sauvage & L'Eau du Caporal

L'Artisan Parfumeur has reissued two fragrances from the archives: Oeillet Sauvage and L'Eau du Caporal. Tea For Two will reportedly be reissued shortly.

Oeillet Sauvage ~ developed by perfumer Anne Flipo and launched in 2000. "Œillet Sauvage is a spicy and vibrant fragrance - an ode to carnations in bloom in the wild. This opus opens on lively notes of pepper combined with pink peppercorns, which tame the carnation’s exuberance while preserving its inherent sensuality. The floral heart of carnation, rose, ylang-ylang, white lily and wallflower is vivacious and colourful. Alluring notes of vanilla, cedar and musk ensure this fragrance is enticingly long-lasting."

L'Eau du Caporal ~ developed by perfumer Jacques Fraysse and launched in 1985. "L’Eau du Caporal is an invigorating interpretation of a classic ‘accord’ of perfumery: the fougère, much-loved by men and women. This Eau de Toilette opens on fresh notes of lemon and tangerine giving L’Eau du Caporal a brisk and energetic start. The aromatic notes of geranium and lavender make a captivating heart, and notes of cedar, patchouli, vetiver and oak moss create a robust and long-lasting base."

L'Artisan Oeillet Sauvage and L'Eau du Caporal are available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette, €100 each.

    Oh yes! I haven’t tried OS and want to. *winking at Jessica*, we do like those carnations:). But please make them in smaller bottles, 1-1.7 oz please. Maybe they will be in a re-issue discovery sample set. lol.

      Hah, I just thought of fellow carnation-lover Omega when I read this! I hope they haven’t changed it… OS was such a pretty, powdery-peppery carnation, on the soft side.

        It was pretty, but too soft for me personally. It was in the same 2000 floral group as Jacinthe des Bois, wish they’d bring that back too! Although I wouldn’t buy 100 ml of it anyway.

    I tried a sample of Oeillet Sauvage and found it kind of boring — I really love carnations scents, but it just didn’t do anything for me. (I also thought SL Vitriol d’Oeillet was tame.) But I know a lot of people love OS, and this news is going to make them very happy.

      The one thing about it is that the clove was soft enough that they can probably still make it despite IFRA, unlike many other carnations…

    I love carnation in perfume, and its exuberance should never be tamed!:-)

      Amen! Soft cloves, soft carnations can be kinda meh. I agree about SL, I didn’t get much carnation out of that one.
