Artemisia by Penhaligon`s

geegee

I got a small bottle from ebay, oh boy is this a gem of a find for me.

As it progresses it just seems to get better & better & made me feel like i was a princess wearing the most expensive diamonds luxuriating in the wonderness of heaven.

Its romance with a capital 'R'. Gorgeous, luxurious & very femine without being girly.

A complete liquid goddess.

Wow!It's a lovely floral oriental scent!Although i hate violet,in this combination, violet is slightly ''hiding''!lol!Warm,musky and quite fresh scent..I would like it to be a little spicy..I don't know if this perfume reflects me..but it's definetely a special scent.My mum loves it!

I mostly feel apple, musk and violet in this fragrance. It smells fresh, soft and light enough. But I think that this fragrance smells too simple. I don't mean the delicate simplicity, it just reminds me a typical fresh fragrance. Nothing special.

Lovely, lovely lovely. Artemesia bursts out of the bottle in a haze of fuzzy pink peach, a hint of fresh cut grass and a cashmere soft musk, so seductive, it creeps up behind you and tousles you hair without you realising its there. Sometime after the initial excitement, the front line begins to step aside a little to allow the middle notes to take two steps forward, not to take center stage, you understand, but to complement the front liners, a beautiful rain soaked lily of the valley, nose dipped into the tea caddy, and drawn out again by a carefully dangled fresh baked vanilla cookie dipped in ice cream, again, all of this still dancing beautifully with a pink peaach. As the base notes begin to shuffle forward, the whole thing has a very slight but unmistakable note of the finest ice cream parlour from my childhood, a vague residue of vanilla pipe tobacco, cappucino froth and delicious dollops of italian icecream with waver curls standing proudly. This is probably achieved by the delicious powdery musk, which is the glue which holds the whole delightful mix together, and the gentle earthy oakmoss. I dont get sandalwood at all...
I love this so much, I use the shower gel, the body cream and the talc too, layering to the max, or just a dusting of talc before I slip between the sheets at night. This is the stuff of heaven. Buy some, then blame me for your suffering bank balance.

Another perfume that makes me feel myself a young lady from the high society ) Mostly lily of the valley and some fruits. Like other Penhaligon's it's not annoying and smothering, but not too light. I love Penhaligon's perfumes for this balance.

I have fallen madly in love perfumes change on everyone but on my this is the most lovely soft violet and vanilla. It has a lovely freshness at the top but it is so lovely and soft it just caresses you! The amber and musk are lovely and warm. I am in love with this fragrance and this house!

The first time I tried this perfume on I told myself that I would see how it changed on my skin and how it held up then I would be back another day if I really loved it. Ten minutes later I had turned around and purchased it! I can not get enough of it!
During dinner hours later I kept getting soft whiffs of it coming up from my neck line!

So gorgeous!

Sadly, this was one of the Penhaligon's scents I truly did not care for. I couldn't wait to get this stuff off my wrist.

It opened with a blast of... well, something I have to compare to nailpolish remover. It was sharp, synthetic, chemically; not something one would expect from this company at all, nor from the listed notes.

Soft, nondescript florals begin to emerge after a few minutes, but that harsh topnote is too much for me to bear and I find myself removing this before I can even get to a drydown.

I absolutely adore this scent, it is so soft and fresh, It doesn't smell oriental on me, it's floral for sure I think It changes on my skin ea time I wear it. I Love the Bottle its so pretty and unique..

Soft and feminine, I get alot of lily of the valley and violet in this. I like it, I think it would be pretty in the summer. Very soft, would rec for those who don't like bold scents.
