L'Artisan Parfumeur is a French niche perfume house owned by Puig company from Spain, which also owns British perfume house Penhaligon's.[1]

History

L’Artisan Parfumeur was established in 1976 by Jean Laporte.[2] In 1982, he left the company, going on to form rival Maître Parfumeur et Gantier in 1988.[3][4]

L'Artisan is based in Paris—the original store opened on Rue de Grenelle in 1979[4]—but now has outlets worldwide.

L’Artisan's 2012 release Seville à l’aube was the subject of the book The Perfume Lover, a memoir by Denyse Beaulieu describing her collaboration with French perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour to develop the scent.[5] Together they went through more than 100 modifications to develop the fragrance with notes of orange blossom, incense, smoke, beeswax, flowers and musk.[5]

In January 2015, private equity firm Fox Paine & Company, then L’Artisan's owner, sold the company to the Spanish perfume group Puig (along with British perfume line Penhaligon's).[4]

Products

It specialises in unusual fragrances, working with master perfumers such as Michel Almairac, Evelyne Boulanger, Bertrand Duchaufour, Jean-Claude Ellena, Dora Baghriche-Arnaud, Elisabeth Maier, Karine Vinchon, Fabrice Pellegrin,[2] Olivia Giacobetti,[2] and Anne Flipo.[2][6] The emphasis is on scents from nature.

The company sells candles and home fragrances as well as fragrances.

Limited editions

Beginning in 2005, L'Artisan has issued a limited edition "grand cru" soliflore perfume each year from a specific harvest of a particular flower. The creator of the fragrances is master "nose" Anne Flipo. Production is limited to a few thousand bottles each. The price is considerably higher ($250–$295 per 3.4 ounce bottle) and the packaging more elaborate than for the regular fragrances. These include:

  • Fleur d'Oranger 2005 (Orange blossom harvest of April 2004 from Nabeul, Tunisia)
  • Fleur de Narcisse 2006 (Narcissus harvest of June 6–7, 2005 from Lozère, France)
  • Iris Pallida 2007 (Tuscan iris harvest of 2001). Iris scent molecules take three years to form in the roots (rhizomes) of the iris plant. These roots are dried, ground into colloidal powder, and treated with alcohol to make orris butter, the precious pure absolute of the Iris pallida plant. It takes 41 tons of iris root to produce one kilogram of rhizomal extract.
  • Fleur d'Oranger 2007 (Orange blossom harvest of April 2006 from Nabeul, Tunisia)
