The story behind the bottle.
Artemisia by Penhaligon's was launched in 2002 as a sophisticated Oriental fragrance for women. Dominique Bouley crafted this composition with a delicate balance of powdery and green notes, creating an aura that is both fresh and warm. The scent opens with nectarine and green apple, leading into the heart of violet and jasmine. These floral elements are supported by a base of musk, sandalwood, and oakmoss, which lend depth and complexity to the overall composition. Artemisia captures the essence of Penhaligon's traditional elegance while embracing modern sophistication.
Apply Artemisia to pulse points for optimal longevity. The green and powdery opening notes are bright but fade within an hour, so it’s best to layer on the base notes by applying a bit more to the wrists and neck after the first pass. This fragrance reads beautifully close to skin, making it ideal for daytime wear.
