When I met with Nick Steward, Creative Director of L'Artisan Parfumeur, he was very excited about the return of the House to its Grassian Roots. Caligna was the first perfume that went back to the future. He wrote about this new direction in his article CaFleureBon Creative Directors in Perfumery.
This September 2013, L’Artisan Parfumeur launches Explosions d’Emotions, new collection of Eaux de Parfum. Faithful to the vision of its founder, Monsieur Jean Laporte, the cult Parisian perfume house sets a new standard with three exceptional fragrances.

Three concepts, translating the extraordinary emotional power of fragrance, created without compromise. L’Artisan Parfumeur and long-time collaborator Bertrand Duchaufour (Timbaktu, Dzongkha, Mechant Loup, Poivre Piquant, Fleur de Liane, Mure et Musc Extrait, Havana Vanille,Traversee le Bosophere, Al Oudh, Nuits de Tuberouse, and Seville A L'Aube) share a vision: to capture the emotional power of olfactory art.
Amour Nocturne: For those who love the night
Notes: Cedar, hot milk milk accord, caramel, gunpowder, and orchid.
. 
Déliria: A wanton embrace
Notes: metallic, rum, gourmand notes of toffee apple and candy floss.
Skin on Skin: A multi sensorial carnal creation- to touch, to get closer, to smell.
Notes: Iris, sueded leather accord, saffron, whisky, lavender, rose, musks
The Explosions d’Emotions collection is not just about the fragrance. Their sensational new packaging, inspired by the aesthetic codes of L’Artisan Parfumeur, is taken to new heights of indulgence. It is a harmony of luxurious materials: – sensual, thickly-textured white paper with original debossed motifs; precious metals; a beautifully facetted glass flacon. L’Artisan Parfumeur is proud to be ‘Made in France’, of its artisanal attention to detail, and, naturally, of ‘le luxe à la française’; the union of simplicity and sophistication.
Eaux de Parfum 125m/£135/$230

Editor's Note: Since I have a sweet tooth when it comes to fragrance I think Deliria and Amour Nocturne might be my favorites. But I have learned, don't judge a fragrance by its notes… Excited to try all three.
