It can be frustrating when your favorite perfume is discontinued and you think that you will never find it again. Many fragrance companies aren’t listening! That is not the case with L’Artisan Parfumeur. Last year, I met Nick Steward and we discussed this very subject. Nick read your comments in Creative Directors in Perfumery and Olivia Giacobetti’s Tea for Two was one of the fragrances our readers asked the Company to reissue.  Voila… Tea for Two, Jaques Fraysse 1985 fougere L’Eau du Caporal, and Ann Flipo 2000 ode to spicy carnation OEillet Sauvage will be available to purchase November 1, 2014

 

Tea For Two has a special place in perfume history, taking its cue from the smoky lapsang souchong tea (of southern China), masterfully crafted into a fragrance. Tea For Two is a one of its kind with a cult following. This Eau de Toilette is warm and gourmand with notes of smoky tea, deepened by spicy notes of cinnamon, ginger and honey. Olivia Giacobetti , 2000

 

 L’Eau du Caporal, first released in 1985, was created by Jacques Fraysse, a perfumer who found inspiration in the simple perfection of nature. Imagine a martial elegance, corporals (hence the name) in their smart uniforms, marching in formation in the crisp morning light. This is an invigorating interpretation of a classic ‘accord’ of perfumery: the fougère, much-loved by men and women, and often associated with the smells of the barber’s shop, because of its geranium, lavender and oak moss notes. It opens on fresh notes of lemon and tangerine, giving L’Eau du Caporal a brisk and energetic start. The heart notes are aromatic and elegant, while cedar, patchouli, vetiver and oak moss create a robust and long-lasting

Created in 2000 by Master Perfumer Anne Flipo, whose particular passion has long been for florals, OEillet Sauvage (wild carnation) is a vibrant and spicy fragrance – an ode to carnations in bloom in the wild.  Lively notes of pepper combined with pink peppercorns, which tame the carnation’s exuberance while preserving its inherent sensuality. The floral heart of carnation, rose, ylang-ylang, white lily and wallflower is vivacious and colourful. Notes of cedar and musk  are at the drydown

The three re releases will be available in 100 ml for €100Eau de Toilette in L’Artisan Parfumeur  through boutiques, concessions, distributors and  online
