[@denby2291]

Good video! This house is criminally underrated - the top 5 from this house put 90% of current niche houses to shame, imo. Btw Kristo you were 100% right about Traversee du Bosphore; the 'Bosphore' here refers to the Bosporus strait which runs through Istanbul and is part of the continental border between Europe and Asia. Duchafour composed the fragrance whilst in Istanbul.

[@shopqueen]

Love you guys. Kristo is giving me that preppy yet badass dichotomy...

[@danield.stanisic4744]

Dzing and Danzig! How the Gods Kill: a plus for Kristo!

[@teamjackwelch]

Im glad you guys are reviewing l’artisans. It’s about time to bring this brand back!

[@kathrynimhoff344]

L'Artisan is my latest house to explore. I purchased old label Safran Troublant and old label Eau Ambre Extreme. Based on Kristo's review, I just ordered Traversee Du Bosphore because I have been looking at several Turkish delight frags and just have not pulled the trigger. I'm interested in exploring the Elena's first. Very happy with my first two frags. There are some discovery sets out there.

[@laquerisma]

I wear Bois Farine to bed. It's comforting. I love how the carrotiness of the iris and the woods combine for that distinct peanutty, doughy smell.

[@judthestudo2]

My favorites: Dzing, traversed du Bosphore which to me is like Chanel Misia with leather, Batacuda, and Seville au laube.

[@bluesteblue7822]

Great vid! When I first entered the perfume world, this was one of the first niche houses I learned. I have and love Dzing!, Traversee du Bosphore, Tea for Two, and Mandarina Corsica. Purchased La Chasse Aux Papillons for my wife. Sampled and really enjoyed Seville a l'Aube. Samples waiting for me to try of Bana Banana and L'Eau D' Ambre Extreme. Voleur de Roses was my one and only blind buy and unfortunately, it is a huge turn off for me. I had to laugh when Eugen says he doesn't smell patchouli, as that is all I smell- too much for me. :) I'd have to say Mandarina Corsica is a must smell!!

[@shopqueen]

I agree... I don’t like the grey bottles...why change for the worse

[@Perizaddancer]

Off topic - You two both have really good hair - but of course you knew that.

[@docsportello5833]

Noir Exquis and Seville a l'Aube are pretty awesome.

[@TheTopNote]

great house and also great value - particularly when you look into who the perfumers are. 👏

[@andrijz2477]

I own Tea For Two and The Pour Un Ete in the older bottles. I got them in TKMaxx here in UK when they had loads of them when the brand underwent re-packaging. Both great tea scents but very different. The Pour Un Ete a great one for the summer. Used to own Mure et Musc Extreme but was only a small bottle and used it up. Must give Timbuktu another try.

[@sd2252]

Missed your stream :(( I sleep at that time here in EU :))) Love L'Artisan. They did very original fragrance. Traversee du Bosphore, Passage d'Enfer, Seville l’Alube, Dzing, Safran Troublant - love them all. Noir Exquis -nice . Bois Farine is weird on me. Like old bag of dust.

[@fragguy9901]

Great house, I have on,y tried half a dozen from the range and enjoyed all of them so far, need to try more. Only own no.9 at the moment

[@neonmoon4123]

Tim Robbins & Dean Martin reviewing L'Artisan Parfeumur. Cool 👍🏽

[@arnold1446]

So Eugen gets unwashed ass out of Dzing! and Kristo gets "white pills"...I have to say, I am tempted to blind buy that one out of sheer intrigued confusion alone.

[@colinbenfield326]

Once had a beautiful boutique in london then the takeover happened. They got rid of the store and focused on their other acquisition Penhaligon and reformulated great scents like Timbuktu. Criminal.

[@kenzoh25]

L’Artisan has some great gems. Seville l’Alube, Dzing, Safran Troublant, Amber Extreme, Voleur de Roses are some of my favorites. Have to try Mon numero 10))

[@paigeofstylez]

Mon Numero no.9 is GREAT

[@BathtubSandwich]

they were available at Canadian Sephoras about 4 or 5 years ago, not any more however.

[@paigeofstylez]

The best to me are Mon Numero 9 and Safran Troublant. Timbuktu coming in third

[@bizzynotes6785]

Premier Figuier and La Chasse Aux Papillons are my favourites from what I've tried. The Ambre Extreme is great but I prefer it on a man than myself. This was fun seeing your first impressions 😊🌹

[@lucajeanp]

To me the new bottle design is much more contemporary, ..my favorite from the house is Couleur Vanille

[@Gonzalo_K]

I get strongly similarities between L'eau d'ambre Extreme and Bois d'Armenie, smelling side by side. No surprise since they're both heavy on benzoin, labdanum and vanilla

[@saabreplay7553]

I love the house. I don’t think they sell those in the USA at Sephora

[@shopqueen]

They don’t sell it here in US at Sephora... it’s kind of hard to find IMO

[@sarahiles520]

First niche perfume I ever got was L’Artisan La Chasse aux Papillon EdT and I still love it! (Amazing spring Linden & Tuberose). Also love Safran Troublant & Premiere Figuer (both by Olivia Giocobetti!) Have you tried these? I really want to try the incense one, Passage d’Enfer & now Traversee du Bosphore. I think they were only in Sephora for a hot minute, because I remember I was going to buy one during the bi-annual sales but by then they had disappeared! So less than 9 months (At least in Canada, I think they are at Sephora in France). It would have been nice to get the newer releases easier here!

[@cravis123]

In an interview Jean Claude Elena said that he used only 10 ingredients for composing Bois Farine

[@Oce2009z]

I have L’eau de Ambre by Karine Dubruile and to me this original comes across like a JCE creation. More light in the depth of the overall composition. I would love to smell the extreme by JCE and see how it compares.

[@brianelswick7374]

I'm not sure I ever expected to hear the phrase "scour pad made of patchouli." 😄

[@lyndonearlington5986]

Great brand. Navic I have Mon Numero 10. I hope you will like that perfume.

[@robertperricone9363]

i got tea for two on either Ebay or Fragrance.net...love it..actually i feel its a autumn/early early spring frag

[@BobbyDior]

“Think u used enough dynamite, there, Butch!? Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid (The Perfume Bullies).

[@raraavis7772]

Bois Farine has always reminded me of like peanut butter and baby formula. Can’t do it. Voleurs de Roses is the only on this video that I own. I agree with Eugene- the fruit note reminds me of red wine. It is my HG patchouli tho. It is sharp at first spray- once resting on the skin it gets sweeter and rounder (not as bitter). Not sweet like fruit-choulis- rather, like high percentage cocoa dark chocolate.

[@bluesteblue7822]

Best season to wear VdR?

[@TheMrZanshin]

I've never seen any of these at a Sephora in the United States. They're not on their website here either.

[@arnold1446]

Eugen, Ambre Narguile? Is that the Ellena creation you were thinking of? I've never smelled AN, but it's the only other Ellena that comes to mind that isn't about citrus, spice, and wood. The opening of L'eau d'ambre l'extreme actually reminds me of a less impressive Coromandel, probably that's due to the patchouli quotient.

[@StefanFragrance]

Whats up you studs ♥️🤘

[@katie86th]

Great video as always! Lately, I've been actually wondering if you had any L'artisans and what you thought about the brand. A couple days later you uploaded the one about Timbuktu! I love their Drole de Roses. I was wearing it against Misia to compare the other day. The drydowns are somewhat similar, although DDR lacks the complexity that Misia has, and also is slightly darker and more dry, less syrupy than Misia. Knowing your love for powdery scents, I'd give it a try! Also, was wondering if you tried anything by Terry de Gunzberg? Their Goutte de Mercure gets bashed on fragrantica but to me is one of the nicest "dirty" and slightly "ugly/earthy" powders! 🤗 Btw. Is L'eau D'ambre anything like Hermes' L'Ambre des Merveilles? I've not smelled the former, but have and like a lot the latter although wish it was slightly less sweet and a bit dirtier. I've been hoping that, as they're both Jean-Claude Ellena's takes on amber, they'd have something in common and possibly L'eau D'ambre would give me what the other ones doesn't have!

[@vincentlassi2359]

Great list. haute voltige and coeur de vetiver sacrée are two that I really like (the latter is discontinued for a while unfortunately). if you want a more playful spring scent, you can check out mon numéro 9

[@SchwizzZer]

The only thing I know from this house is Bana Banana, I got a sample. Well, it's creamy, dry-fruity, musc, sweeter, more feminin leaning. You really do get the dry bananas (the ugly looking ones you can buy) after a while. I think I need to check your favs to get to know the house more.

[@JJColb]

"LARTIZZAN"

[@LobisAnthony]

Loving the house just own 4 fragrances ... L eua Ambre: powdery, subdue , relaxing , transparent not much projection more like personal skin scent really dry and good smell. Saffron troubulant: love it rose with saffron almost kind of baccarat rouge but little bit sweet transparent not super strong not to complex Noir exquis: sweet chocolate with cherry same time transparent personal airy but not cloying good intimate fragrance. Batucada: salty , fruit , tropical sweaty , cocktail , little bit animalic love it perfect summer scent . If you like Mon numero 10 I think is like a bad copy for me for the underrated maybe discontinue from Ropion kenzo jungle l Elephant women that fragrance is kind of similar but the kenzo one smells so niche so good like being in India smelling all spices , vanilla strong bold . If you try arroz con leche smells like that cinnamon prefer kenzo over mon 10

[@petercorcoran5372]

Kristo with a hickey ?

[@TheBTEAMwins]

Dzing or wut?

[@thepacific8363]

I think you might enjoy L’artisan’s Explosions d’Emotions and Natura Fabularis lines ? But I find Annick Goutal’s Mon Parfum Cheri par Camille a better take on L’artisan’s Voleur de Roses,

[@sfzombie2473]

Love the combo !

Hello

[@BobbyDior]

Aloha

[@RichMitch]

@@BobbyDior bonjour

[@BobbyDior]

Rich Mitch .. Timbuktu en route. You like it? Mango is loved here in the Islands. Pep was the original of this juice, but I finally ordered after Big E’s Maximum reference you it...

[@RichMitch]

@@BobbyDior its quality sauce mate, you'll be able to appreciate it for its quality even if you don't care for it tastewise

[@RichMitch]

@@BobbyDior I do like it btw

[@UnknownChap]

#wackpack Al oudh is the only from the house I'm familiar with but have a bunch of samples I've never tried, so it's great to hear both your thoughts on these. Sotd is jardin nocturne by shalini .

[@vizke]

Hi Eugene, great video, as always. Where did you find the vintage bottle of L'Artisan? Could you point at some safe online seller? I'm very interested in old L'Artisan bottles but there so many fakes out there. Thank you in advance!

Dzing! smells like sawdust, saddle, sweet old cardboard, and manure to me. 😁

[@James75647]

Total chads. Every other youtube channel is too afraid to meet up with their usual friends because the government told them not to.

[@shamilhegrat]

👍

[@stevenweix4330]

Dzing smells like a "friendly" barn... Eugene is absolutely right -- pissy / shitty and still kinda nice -- challenging for sure. But oddly nice....

[@domrice8628]

Really poor performance scents
