L'ARTISAN PARFUMEUR TIMBUKTU

L'Artisan Parfumeur Passage D'Enfer

L'Artisan Parfumeur Mechant Loup

L'Artisan Parfumeur Mure Et Musc Extreme

All of them blind. Are they good and they last long?
What more should i get?

Thank you very much Daniel, these prices are out of this world. I took one Timbuktu. Many are out of stock now.

Ok guys is Timbuktu worth a blind buy!?!??!?!

Looking at your wardrobe I think that you will like it. Its one of few niche fragrances that I tried that are easy to wear. It is spicy, woody, smoky, fruity and VERY NATURAL smelling.

For me it is same type of fragrance that would guy that loves Gucci PH II wear (just without tea, and more spicy and smoky).

BTW Timbuktu (as every other Artisan fragrances) costs like 95-105 euros per 100ml on Artisan site. Buying it for 30 euro is steal for me. I would not pay 100 euros for it but it is definitely worth 50-60 atleast.

Wow, thanks for the heads-up! I bought a 100 mL bottle of Timbuktu, paying just under $50 with shipping and a coupon code.

Just blind-bought Mechant Loup and Timbuktu 3.4 oz. If I don't like them I could always trade them for something else or gift them to someone

I think I will like them though, and it could seem it would do something in my wardrobe I don't have yet. Oh, and introducing a new brand into the collection is groovy j

Thanks for the heads up on the price! Ended up @ 100 USD for 2 x 3.4 oz and shipping to Norway. Awesome

Wonder why I didn't go 50 ml when buying 100% blind by the way. Oh well ... so cheap anyways (if you disregard the fact I'm a student .. hurr).

Nice choice, Brian Chambers. Just the same as me And yeah, they've eaten up all the Dzonghka :/ The only ones I found worthy (after checking some reviews and pondering my wardrobe) was Timb / Mech. Oh well - looking forward to this Fun and games.

I doubt it...for them to all of a sudden get a list of L'Artisan fragrances makes me feel as tho they have just recently jumped on the L'Artisan band wagon. Fragrancnet is a reputable online dealer so I wouldn't see them selling fakes. If so we'll all just send it back.

For a peace of mind tho maybe once all of us get our bottles we should start another thread and maybe compare pictures and speak on the product to ensure that we all got legit bottles.....

Lol. I just wondered the same thing as I did the same for myself.....$45 dollars isn't gonna make or break me tho.

Just filled my car with $43 worth of gas yesterday it'll be gone in a week....this fragrance will last forever.

Always find the silver lining.

You guys... you almost got me, I had 4 in my cart and I decided against it. After resampling Timbuktu and not really feeling it, I almost bought it anyways at that price. Then realizing nothing in my cart was even on my radar for my next purchased I just closed the tab...that price was almost blinding!

Hope everyone enjoys their purchases though!

Dammit. I got there a bit late and most of the good stuff was gone. I really, really have been looking for Navegar and Vdr has been on my list for a long time, but they were both out of stock-- as was Timbuktu. Crud.

Still, this was a really good deal and I snagged some Poivre Piquant, Mure et Musc, Mure et Musc Extreme, Bois Farine, and Dzongkha. I tried to get 2 Mure et Muscs so I could give one as a gift, but there was only one left.

Exact same here.. it's a great price but I wouldn't ever wear any of them. I tried a few of my L'artisan carded samples last night to try to convince myself to pull the trigger and none inspired me, and the few L'Artisans I do like aren't listed for sale.

The bottles are with the normal market price now.
I think they received the stock from the supplier, applyed their normal profit margin and after the huge sales theyre realized that theyre selling below the price praticed in the market.
The profit seems monstruous.

Well played by you. I almost did the same thing; I've thought about Voleur du Roses as a possibility for ages, but when it was in the cart I thought of my wish list, and VdR has never been on it...

So I did another quick search and ended up getting MH Fleurs de Sel instead. It was already a lot cheaper than I can find it here, and with the 20 percent discount an excellent deal.

I should really stop now.

Well I went way overboard with this sale.

Nothing on my wishlist, and some were not even curiosities until last night, when I did a flurry of research to see which available L'Artisans might be worth a blind buy. So five blind buys, big bottles... yeah, I don't see this ending well.

If only they had L'Eau du Navigateur or Dzing... Those are the ones I really wanted. Or rather, at least had a passing interest (what have I done).

Have you smelled L'Eau du Navigateur? It's smells so 80s to me. I too am curious about Dzing.

And which ones did you get?

Well, that makes me feel better about LEdN (I have not tried it).

I got Mechant Loup, Premier Figuier, Voleur de Roses, Poivre Piquant, and Timbuktu. The only L'Artisan I've really tried is Fou d'Absinthe, which I love (though not the strongest in my wardrobe).

The funny thing is, my skin tames almost every scent. Even Duro is just a tame little kitten on me (I use 3-4 sprays, turning on its head the argument "oh it's an extrait so 30ml will last like 100ml of EDT"). So I have to imagine L'Artisan is not the house for me. Yet here I am with five blind buys coming... I just can't pass up a good deal.

Don't believe that they are going to be as tame as you think. I don't really understand the bashing of L'Artisan's fragrances here, especially when compared to most Creeds, their longevity is pretty good.
Now, Hobbes, I think you've picked mighty good ones!
I don't find L'Eau du Navigateur so 80's: no musk, no patchouli, no oakmoss, no powerhouse. It is one of my absolute favourites, and one of the most masculine fragrances ever. You really should try it.
The same goes for Dzing! I mean, the you-should-try-it part. It's strange and compelling, very... organic.

Those of you who blind-bought Timbuktu are in for a real treat. Don't jump up and assume "fake" when you spray it on and it disappears in just a few minutes. If you have access to it, read Turin's review before the juice arrives, so you'll know what to expect. When he says that the fragrance is subtle, penetrating, and radiant - well, it's no BS - he really means it. Once you perceive the main accord on this stuff, you'll see that it's a rather heavenly woody smell that goes everywhere, and won't relent for an instant, but it *never* shouts. The stuff is also unmistakeable because of that, so no worries on fakery.

I'm pretty sure this is one of his top ten, too. Definite classic!

Great to hear, 'fumisto! I actually have bought it half-blindly, because I tried recently Dzongkha on one hand and Timbuktu on the other. I couldn't remember which was which later on, and from the notes I am (kind of) sure that it was Timbuktu that I liked very much and Dzongkha not really. Or at least I hope I got it right!
