The story behind the bottle.
Mon Numero 3 by L'Artisan Parfumeur was launched in 2011 and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. The fragrance opens with a distinctive aromatic note that evokes the warmth of an alcoholic beverage, creating an intriguing contrast with its earthy undertones. At its heart, vetiver radiates sensuality while lavender and iris lend a powdery, green complexity. This composition is a study in contrasts, balancing the boldness of alcohol with the subtlety of natural elements.
Apply two sprays for optimal impact — the aromatic opening is brief but impactful. The vetiver base develops gradually over an hour, so it's best suited for evening wear when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
