The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Caligna by L'Artisan Parfumeur was launched in 2013, created by perfumer Dora Baghriche. This fragrance is an aromatic fruity composition that seamlessly blends bright fig and clary sage with a woody base of oak and ambroxan. The heart adds layers of rose, jasmine, and violet, creating a lush yet restrained bouquet. Caligna captures the essence of craftsmanship and artistry that L'Artisan Parfumeur is known for, offering a scent that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply a light spritz to your pulse points. The aromatic top notes will fade within an hour, but the woody base will linger for several hours. This fragrance is best worn in cooler weather or during transitional seasons when its fresh and warm aspects can balance each other out.
