L'Artisan celebrate 30 years of Mure et Musc with Pure Perfume

by Grant Osborne, 18 November 2008

L'Artisan Parfumeur have created a pure perfume 'Mure et Musc Extrait de Parfum' and limited edition products to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Mure et Musc. The new extrait version was composed by in-house perfumer, Bertrand Duchaufour.

The extrait features top notes of kumquat, bergamot, basil, pink and black pepper. The heart has the fruity note of the blackberry dressed with more heady floral notes, of Turkish rose essential oil and iris absolute. The base of patchouli and oakmoss are the signature of this typical chypre harmony. Vanilla and leather also make an appearance in the base notes.

The perfume is presented in a 15 ml bottle with the seven symbolic facets of L’Artisan Parfumeur and a cap made of zamac finely engraved with the coat of arms. It comes in its own box of warm gold and black and purple lacquers.

For the anniversary, L'Artisan have also created limited edition designs for Mûre et Musc and Mûre et Musc Extrême (left). The bottle is engraved with blackberries (see above)
