About This Perfume
L'artisan Parfumeur Mechant Loup smells like smoky honeyed wood, spicy nuts and pepper. It opens with liquorice and pepper, moves into hazelnut, chestnut and hazelnut wood and settles on gaiac wood, honey and cedarwood. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits the office. Released in 1997.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and sweet for the office.
- Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $225.

The Brand
L'artisan Parfumeur
L'artisan Parfumeur is one of the earliest modern niche houses, the Paris maison founded in 1976 by Jean Laporte and widely credited with helping shape the modern niche perfumery category. Across 76 L'artisan Parfumeur perfumes, the price spread is about $46 to $435.

Inside the three picks
L'artisan Parfumeur Premier Figuier (1994) opens with fig leaf and galbanum and ends on coconut milk, pine needle and sandalwood; overall it reads as fig leaves and peach with creamy almond milk. For L'artisan Parfumeur Passage d'Enfer (1999), expect smoky rose incense over woody resin: ginger and rose up top, benzoin, cedar and sandalwood underneath. L'artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu (Eau de Toilette, 2004) comes across as smoky, resinous incense over green vetiver grass, with green mango and cardamom at the start and vetiver, myrrh and benzoin at the base.
