The story behind the bottle.
Christophe Raynaud crafted Fables d'Orient L'Extrait for L'Artisan Parfumeur, launching it in 2026 as a refined extrait that explores the enigmatic charm of incense. The composition opens with aldehydes, bringing vibrant clarity and freshness to the skin. As the fragrance evolves, ambery notes envelop you in warmth and depth, while incense adds an element of mystery and smokiness. This is a scent where radiance meets the whispers of eternity.
Apply this extrait in a thin layer across your pulse points. The aldehydes will provide immediate freshness that fades within two hours, allowing the ambery base notes to emerge gradually. This fragrance is best suited for an evening out or a quiet moment at home.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
