Launched in 2013, Skin on Skin by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a Leather fragrance for both women and men, crafted by the renowned perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. The composition opens with a musky-powdery accord that immediately evokes warmth and intimacy, reminiscent of skin's natural scent. As it evolves, notes of iris and violet add a subtle floral dimension, while warm spices and whiskey provide depth and complexity. This fragrance is neither loud nor overt but rather an intimate embrace of the senses.

Application Tips
Apply Skin on Skin directly to pulse points for maximum warmth. The musky and powdery notes blend seamlessly with your own skin scent, so layering is unnecessary. It's best worn close to the body rather than sprayed liberally across a room.
