by L'Artisan Parfumeur
Fleur de Liane by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a highly naturalistic, green aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of dew-kissed foliage, wet moss, and sea air. It opens with a crisp, slightly melon-tinged green note that evokes freshly cut stems and a faint ozonic quality, like the breath of a cool ocean breeze. Over time, this base unfolds into a translucent, magnolia-tinged floral core—subtle, soft, and almost ethereal—balanced by a faint, slightly bitter woody-stem aroma. The overall impression is that of a rain-drenched meadow or a sub-tropical forest after a storm: cool, fresh, and exquisitely alive. Despite a rich accords structure, the perfume is surprisingly lightweight and delicate, with minimal sillage and moderate longevity. It excels during daytime hours in spring and summer, particularly in warm, humid weather, where its cooling green and watery facets shine. While some perceive it as unisex, most descriptions lean toward a feminine or delicate aura due to its gentle floral softness, floral-green composition, and absence of heavy woods or bold animalics.
