Hey its me again. 
And I sniffed some L'artisans today. Mainly two of them actually. Mechant Loup and Voleur de Roses. I would give thumbs up to both. ML is quite weird, both sweet and green and something animalistic going on but actually quite pleasant. VdR initially smells of wet roses, that is almost photographic. But then there is something about it that reminds me of old museums or gererally old things. This melancholic quality is almost psychedelic and can't be pin pointed to any note in there. I also sampled Passage D'enfer but it didn't strike me as dark like VdR did. VdR is very dark although my rational mind can't pin point what makes it so dark about this soft floral scent.
The others are Lutens Gris Clair and Creed Original Santal. Gris Clair is like raw crushed vanilla which to me smells like dead bugs :P just not my thing. Dry down is musculine and sweet reminds me of the vanilla dry down in Rochas man. Creed OS begins rather pleasent and light for a few minutes then suddenly change into powdery sweet which is quite boring. I don't really mind the sweetness or heaviness but if only it was a little bit more interesting I would have preferred it to Himalaya.
Then the SL Ambre Sultan. I see it as something like M7 taken to the next level. Much drier and more pronounced woods and more smokey. I can't imagine how any woman would wear this. Sadly the Chergui and Fumerie Turque are out of stock at the shop.
