Launched in 1998 by L'Artisan Parfumeur, Navegar is an Oriental Spicy fragrance created by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti. The composition opens with a fresh spicy and citrus accord that introduces a vibrant yet nuanced character. This bright beginning gives way to a heart of anis and soft spices, which adds warmth without overpowering the freshness. The base notes of smoky, powdery, and warm spices create a complex backdrop that makes Navegar feel like both a journey through various climates and a comforting embrace.

Application Tips
Navegar's smoky base notes take time to develop fully on the skin, so a light application in the morning allows for a richer experience as the day progresses. It pairs well with layered fragrances but works best when allowed to stand alone.

“Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images.”
Olivia Giacobetti has an uncanny ability to creat an atmosphere. Having completed her training at Robertet, she founded her own perfume laboratory, Iska, and dedicated her career to doing that. She is the brains and the nose behind the fig accords that have been in home scents for years. The perfumes that move her most are "Echoes of everyday life and nature: fletting emotions, moods, details, attitudes... the many small fragments of life that bear new images." Her compostions capture the authenticity of a single moment. They are, other words, odes to transience.
