Blind Buying from L’Artisan Was the Best Mistake I Made

Apparently, I blind-bought all four of my L’Artisan bottles. Not on purpose. But no regrets. Here’s the breakdown: 1. Mémoire de Roses EDP Wanted a rose perfume, did way too much research. Passed on Byredo and Penhaligon’s. Ended up with this one—and thank God I did. First spritz smells like citrus air freshener, but give it 10 mins and it’s the most radiant, syrupy rose I’ve tried. Better value than Penhaligon’s Foxy Rose, tbh. 2. Mûre et Musc Extrême Also blind. Also perfect. Blueberry Halls candy turned into blackberry jam with minty breath. Addictively clean and not too sweet. Smelled the tester strip all night like a weirdo. 3. Passage d’Enfer EDT Tried it at the store once and forgot what it smelled like. So it counts as blind. First note? Slight chicken poop. I weirdly love it. It reminds me of New Year’s at my grandma’s village: incense, smoke, cold air, and wood fire. Dries down to soft floral incense and soap. No “coffin” vibes like reviews said. Just peace. 4. Tenebrae (Noir Collection) Bought it because I love occult stuff and the bottle looked magical. Eucalyptus hits you first—like fancy Tiger Balm—but it fades into a dewy rose-cedar combo. Feels like spa water for your soul. If this was diffusing at a massage place I’d sign a membership. #beauty #fragrance #blindbuyblessings
