The story behind the bottle.
L'Amant by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men, launched in 2026. Created by perfumer Nathalie Lorson, it captures the essence of an intense night and a carnal, unresolved love story through its olfactory narrative. The top note of ink creates an intriguing contrast with chili pepper and spices in the heart, bringing a sharp piquancy that amplifies the sense of tension. Patchouli and woody notes provide warmth and depth to this composition, grounding it with earthy undertones.
Apply L'Amant lightly; the spicy and woody notes develop slowly on the skin. It’s best worn in cooler weather or in the evening when its warm and intimate character shines through.
