There’s something compelling about Les Bains Guerbois 2013 Résidence d'Artistes, and that comes from the composition of icy cardamom and ozonic violet laid into the lavish heart of sandalwood and peach. This perfume is the olfactory equivalent of “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.
Upon application, Résidence d’Artistes opens with an effervescent burst of citrus peels that, with the aid of cardamom, steer the peach away from jammy sweetness. The peach and mandarin here appear unripe, fresh, and youthful.
There is a bold presence of ozonic nuances that emerge from violet leaves, paired with the pleasant bitterness of papyrus leaves, which take over from the beginning of the composition until the composition dries down. Everything is nicely arranged, like the parts of a good story that make a book engaging.
This joyous concoction of vivacious notes doesn’t shift or fade; it simply settles in a cocoon of warmer notes to reach another level of comfort. A creamy and soapy sandalwood, lavish jasmine, and a layer of leather to accompany the flower surround the top notes.
Once finely settled on the skin, the perfume reaches a soft sheen of white musk and patchouli after about six hours of gentle play. Résidence d’Artistes is a perfume with moderate sillage that performs adequately to grab attention without being overloaded.
For its mix of warmth and freshness, the perfume is suitable for all year-round wear, and for its comfy scent profile, it’s favored for close public areas like offices.
