The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by L'Artisan Parfumeur, Tenebrae 26 is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for both women and men crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes that create an immediate sense of crispness, leading into a heart filled with coniferous warmth and earthy balsamic undertones. This balance between freshness and depth makes it a versatile scent that feels as much at home in the quiet solitude of a forest walk as it does in the cool atmosphere of an office.

How to wear it

Tenebrae 26 has a strong projection from its aromatic top notes but settles into a more intimate warmth over time. Apply it lightly to avoid overwhelming its nuanced layers — one or two sprays will let the fragrance evolve naturally throughout the day.
