L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Holiday 2023 collection

Founded by botanist Jean Laporte, L’Artisan Parfumeur is a niche fragrance brand celebrated by perfume connoisseurs. Its history dates back to the 1970s, when Laporte was first asked to concoct a fragrance to both mirror and be worn with a banana-inspired ensemble. Intense, enigmatic ingredient-focused fragrances starring grapefruit and vanilla followed, and the brand has since evolved into one that celebrates “natural essences” that unfold on the skin with incredible finesse.

Most notably, Takashimaya Shopping Centre bears the honour of being the only L'Artisan Parfumeur store in Southeast Asia. For its Holiday 2023 collection, the brand celebrates spices—the traditions they represent, and the warmth they bring to the home. The L’Artisan Parfumeur La Figue Ceramic Candle Limited Edition pays homage to amber, filling spaces with notes of vanilla, cinnamon and tonka bean, and comes in a hand-painted vessel wrapped in a festive sleeve inspired by the winter herbarium.
