Glacialis Terra 18
by L'Artisan Parfumeur
Glacialis Terra 18 is a highly distinctive, cool-toned fragrance that opens with a sharp, icy absinthe-green accord evoking a frozen forest. The initial burst is medicinal, crisp, and aquatic, with a strong vetiver presence that lingers through the middle phase, creating a clean, green mist effect. Over time, it settles into a creamy, skin-scent-like vetiver base that feels natural and discreet. Although some find it fleeting and underwhelming in longevity, many praise its memorable, abstract beauty and unique character, describing it as an icy, floral aquatic with a rare balance between green freshness and earthy depth. The scent is unisex, with a strong emphasis on coolness and natural botanical notes, making it ideal for warm-weather wear and for those who appreciate abstract, nature-inspired perfumes.
