The fragrance unfolds with top notes of Sicilian clementine, tangelo, Mexican tangerine, aromatic thyme, Spanish marjoram, and Greek lavender. At its heart lie North African orange blossom, Indian Murraya, a jasmine-orange fusion (an ingredient first featured in the brand’s inaugural fragrance), and three distinct varieties of ginger: Nigerian, Chinese, and Givaudan’s proprietary "purple ginger." The base is anchored by Kephalis wood, Georgewood, amber-like Belleambre, and musky Serenolide.
Designed by Jon Cisler Design, the flacon retains the distinctive shape of its predecessors.Artisanis available as a 75ml and 125ml Eau de Toilette.
