Description
2008 : L’Extrait de Parfum Mûre et Musc. The noblest of all, the most refined and feminine among fragrances: the extract.
Created by Bertrand Duchaufour, the Extract is a sublimated version of the original through the finest, most exceptional raw materials. It highlights the fruity, musky perfume of blackberries warmed in the sun, sensual and enveloping. Irresistible…..
With the radiant sparkle of its top notes, the extract creates an effect of freshness with citrus fruits (kumquat, bergamot) and aromatic notes that give a preference to basil. Spicy notes (bubbly pink berry and black pepper) strengthen its contrast and add to its enchantment.
The heart has the fruity note of the blackberry dressed with more heady floral notes, of Turkish rose essential oil and iris absolute, which add richness and femininity.
The base of patchouli and oakmoss are the signature of this typical chypre harmony. The smooth and velvety leather note with a hint of vanilla, brings distinction, the elegance of the extract and even more femininity.
The extract is presented in an exquisite 15 ml bottle with the seven symbolic facets of L’Artisan Parfumeur and a cap made of zamac finely engraved with the coat of arms. It comes in its own box of subtle warm gold and selected lacquers. A 15 ml refill comes with this bottle of exception.

I have both l’extrait de parfum and the body lotion, and they are significantly different. The extrait de parfum is complex and refined and far, far superior. I cannot understand why l’Artisan discontinued it.
In comparison, the body lotion is overpriced, shrill, and rather dull.

I absolutely love this perfume. I was wary, not being a huge fan of heavy musc scents, and am so glad I tested this one. Not heavy at all….very light, rosey, powdery musc. LOVE it. The sillage is moderate and it’s quite long lasting. I thank my sister Amy for the decant, and am now looking for a bottle!
