L’Artisan Parfumeur Rose Privee ~ fragrance review
L’Artisan Parfumeur is one of the first “niche” perfumeries that won my heart — in a sense, it was the brand that got me seriously interested in perfume, back in the 1990s when my mother was wearing Mûre et Musc and I realized there were fragrance options beyond the perfume counters at the mall. I’m a longtime fan of L’Artisan’s two earlier rose fragrances, Drôle de Rose and Voleur de Roses, so I looked forward to trying Rose Privée as soon as it was announced.
Rose Privée celebrates the “rare and iconic” Rose de Mai of Grasse, and it’s a floral fragrance (obviously!) with notes of citrus, black currant, basil and Rose de Mai; carnation, magnolia, violet, and lilac; patchouli and hay. It was developed in collaboration by perfumers Bertrand Duchaufour and Stéphanie Bakouche. It will be released in May, just the right season for a new rose fragrance…
Friday scent of the day 2/6
Happy Friday, and happy Grapefruit Month! Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with grapefruit; extra credit if Grapefruit (or Pamplemousse or Pomelo or whatever) is in the name of the scent.
I’m wearing the bright and cheerful Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Pamplemousse. Has anyone ever bought a scented body lotion from DSH, and if so, what did you think?
Reminder: this Sunday (2/8), we’re celebrating this blog’s 10th birthday…
