The perfumer wanted to create a mystical emotion, a ‘woody nectar’ as he affectionately calls it: a creamy cedar with warm accents of saffron and nutmeg. The presence of enchanting resins of cistus and labdanum evokes the warm earth of the Orient. This innovative combination of cedarwood and fiery spices gives this perfume a mysterious aura and makes the journey a secret.
‘This fragrance is a woody nectar built around creamy cedar with accents of saffron.’ – Christophe Raynaud

L'Orient
Opulent and captivating fragrances from a dreamlike natural world
L'Artisan Parfumeur takes us on a journey to the Orient – the land of dreamlike and mysterious Far Eastern wonders. L'Orient is a collection of fairy tales and legends that paints a picture of a Middle East shaped by dreams and fables and celebrates a rich and opulent natural world. Guided by his emotions, perfumer Christophe Raynaud has incorporated some typical ingredients of the Orient into these stories: Turkish rose, saffron and cedar. A reinvented Orient, an allusion to the ancient and mysterious cradle of perfumery.
