Artemisia Penhaligon`s for women

i have to agree with alexa27! the cashmere mist is indeed a smilair to this

My parents bought me a small flacon of Artemisia during a recent trip to London.

Surprisingly this took quite a lot of trying out to get used to. Top notes are very vanilla-ish to - though I detect some of the fruity notes. But nevertheless, Artemisia is a special perfume all right. The dry down is exquisite, and another plus is that, on my skin, it's rather long-lasting actually.

It's soft, feminine, and terribly sexy without being overt. It opens with an earthy tang of nectarine and green apple but it isn't fruity at all. It's more of fruit skin scent. It's not juicy, it's milky. Candied violet and creamy vanilla meet in the middle like old friends who dare to be lovers. It's a quiet romance that doesn't need to shout or be sugary sweet to be delicious. I find this refreshing in a world of over the top, gourmand, dessert like celebrity perfumes. There's also a slightly wet dark green element thanks to oak moss. Lastly, the dry down is a perfect powdery tonka bean dream. Artemesia is intoxicating and memorable. I feel like myself when I wear it.

Women who enjoy Guerlain and Dior fragrances will love this. Artemesia could easily be the older, more sophisticated sister of that tart, Miss Dior Cherie.

I love this fragrance so much, I wore it on my wedding day.

Somehow this scent is very reminds me of Laura Biagiotti's Laura infusion with Bijan Nude but the creamy-milky-oily way.
The top notes fades away very fast, leaves the creamy-bit oily- sweet vanilla shakesmell with some sandalwood-close to skin-drydown.I feel the sultry feminity in this scent.

I love this fragrance. It reminds of going to the countryside fair and sampling the candied violets. Very fresh lightly coated with a powdered sugar. It has a slightly creamy taste to it with a sweet and fresh and almost citrus tang to it. How I loved to walk around looking at all the booths with different homemade trinkets, quilts, and foods to sell while I wandered aimlessly and blissfully with a sweet and creamy fresh floral taste on my tongue and filling my nose.

Soft feminine creamy and milky is how I describe this. It has an elegant understated feel and is not perfumey at all. Wear this if you want to smell fresh and clean without being citrusy. Silage and staying power not great but I love it anyway. Top notes lasted about 10 seconds, powdery violet and soft vanilla come out almost immediately.

This is a "special" perfume. I don't wear it every day but when I want to smell elegant. I limit myself as I don't want to develop an allergy to it as i have with some fragrances.

I do like this. It has a creamy and powdery feel to it. There is something 'guerlainy' about it and I think it might be the oakmoss.
It has a warm and comforting feel. Unfortuneately its quite linear on my skin and anly lasts a few hours.

Ty Allexa ;)
I was just wondering this reminds me of Cashmere Mist ;)))
Twin is nice word for it. They are not exactly similar, but "sisters" I think, twin sisters ;)))

This a soft, sheer, blankety scent that I use on days when I don't know what else to wear. It stays close, but there is enough sillage for people ask me what I am wearing almost every time I wear it.

Thia is Donna Karan`s Cashmere Mist twin .Try it and u will see

I think I bought a vial of pure H2O. I got nothing! Unbelievable! It's gotta be my skin. I'm really perplexed. Don't know if other people can smell it on me as there is no-one around to ask, and anyway what is the point if I can't smell it on myself?

Fresh fruit and flowers softened by avelvety vanilla/oakmoss/musk base. There's an almost milky sense here, smooth and cool, but it dries down to a very basic soft musk on me, and loses all the nuance. Still, the dry down is also nice, if inoffensive. I won't be buying a full bottle, but I did like experiencing the sample.

Oh my, it opened so lovely with burst of bubble gum sweetness from the peach&apple. I feel amazing violet with hints of tea and a tiny bit of jasmin, but for me the violet is dominant and, oh, boy I do love violet.
I feel L-O-V as well, which I'm usually not so happy about, because of it's power to enduce headache, but here it's very gentle, well blended with creamy and comforting vanilla+violet.

I find this to be a comfort scent, very beautiful and very cozy. I love it.

Artemisia is a wonderful blend of creamy almond and soft oakmoss.i do really love wear it when i wanna feel wraped by a sensual fragrance.i perceive is lovely and delicate synphony of clean and pure notes, nectarine plays with lilly, jasmine and violets in the meanwhile shy vanilla shares the sheet music with moss, amber and sandalwood creating a sophisticated composition.perfect both for girls and woman very atractive parfume for fall and winter

On my skin, this is rather creamy than powdery. Don't get very much fruits. Vanilla and far away some moss and green notes. A rather comfortable smell though, kind of a skin scent too. Not very 'loud'. Reminds me of those winter days when your mind seems not be on earth at all, but constant somewhere in the clouds. At that point, it's the best to stay at home on the coutch watching movies, accompanied by Artemisia.

Penhaligon ARTEMESIA is a lovely oriental floral, to be a bit more precise: lightly vanilla-dusted violet. The dominant violet comes through from the very beginning and persists through the drydown, which is a slightly sweet floral woody scent with a touch of vanilla. In fact, the development is so quick as to make this virtually a linear fragrance.

ARTEMESIA has good staying power and medium sillage, with a clean powdery aspect. I very much enjoyed wearing this fragrance on a relatively sunny summer day, so although I might have thought it better suited for cold weather, in fact, it has turned out to be an all-season beauty.

I can smell the predominace of apple
and the faint smell of Vanilla those
two scents dominate the other notes
some people have an talent to seperate
the other notes easely i have i bit of an hard time with it I Can smell Eather
2 notes or 3 notes out of 12.
this is one of the Plain Jane scent
from my collection a bit dull.

It was so nice on the paper, that I just could not wait to try it on my skin... But on the skin it is so disappointing! It is nothing enjoyably. Too sharp and too old-fashioned.

I got a sample from LuckyScent and loved it so I went to e-bay and was able to get a 3.4 oz bottle from an English e-bayer for 40 pounds which is $61. He got it to me in 10 days! He is all sold out currently. Oh, yes, the perfume is heavenly,the tea combines with the apple and jasmine and Idetect a note of fig even though it is not in it. From first spray through dry down and beyond, it is lovely.

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.

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.

very soft and feminine fragrance. its reminds me alot of givenchy very irresistable.

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.
