   |  Contrary to some of the other reviews here, I find that l'eau de l'Artisan progresses through three quite distinct stages, rather an accomplishment for a fragrance that maintains its light eau de toilette quality throughout. The topnotes are a bouquet of bright, fresh, green herbs. Soon after the fragrance settles into a grassy, almost hay-like middle stage that is almost totally devoid of sweetness. In the drydown, the verbena finally comes to dominate and the fragrance finishes off with a touch of sweetened lemon. It is definitely drier and less moist than Eau de Guerlain, probably its closest counterpart, but a wonderful fragrance for lovely spring days. 30 July 2009 |
  | Lemon, verbena, basil, mint This is as light and refreshing as a breeze on a sunny day! The ingredients are simple and true to type. They are rendered in a cheerful, tonic and yet delicate style. The lemon and basil are excellent, with verbena complimenting and bridging those two notes and adding a typical baked bread note. The mint and basil combine to give a leafy herbal cool green air. 08 June 2009 |
  | This is an excellent, natural light citrus/herbal scent, that seems to combine some of the top notes of the classic eau de colognes (think Colonia's topnotes), the green-ness of Sisley's Eau De Campagne, even a small taste of Creed's Selection Verte. I feel as if it should have a slightly stronger base, but that is just me. It likely appeals to a wider audience being just what it is. As typical of L'Artisans it smells 100% natural, and well blended and proportioned. Thumbs up. 14 December 2008 |
  | You know what this reminds me of? The smell of a luxury hotel -- and their hotel soap. This is light, fresh, green, and really easy to wear. Safe, but good. I prefer this over Mugler Cologne. 07 December 2008 |
 |  To my nose, this was all grass and... some other hard to distinguish stuff. Smells really good though, like clean grass and light lemony soap. Nothing to write home about but nice, and goes well under the radar. If you like this, but aren’t intrigued, try Mugler cologne. It’s similar, much sexier, but a little more synthetic and lime-y.Unfortunately, after a while I noticed something in this that is very bothersome… there is this chemical note in it that wears off with time, but MAN is it ever gross. Is it cinnamon floor cleaner? Acetone? I’m having a hard time describing it but all I can say it makes me not want to wear this. Rather ironic since otherwise, this smells so natural! What a shame... 7/10 04 December 2008 |
 | Rather mundane for a niche perfumery HOWEVER this stuff is amazing just like about every other "Eau de Something or Other". This one stands out a bit with a harsh mildly abrasive citrus that lasts and lasts and I find it quite charming. Very much on the dry side and is rather quite pleasant. Good stuff. 25 July 2008 |
