The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by L'Artisan Parfumeur and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, Mon Numero 8 is a sophisticated blend of powdery iris and musky earthiness. The fragrance opens with crisp white florals that give way to the soft, velvety notes of violet and a warm, powdery base. This composition captures the essence of L'Artisan Parfumeur's commitment to originality and connoisseurship, offering an intimate yet lasting olfactory experience.
Mon Numero 8 is long-lasting but intimate, so apply it lightly to pulse points. Its powdery base notes bloom gradually over time, making this fragrance ideal for a quiet evening or a day in the office where you want a subtle yet enduring presence.
