Jovoy Paris L'Art de la Guerre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Vanina Muracciole. L'Art de la Guerre opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, and Apple, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Violet Leaf, Lavender, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Jovoy Paris's L'Art de la Guerre carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, a divisive beast that some adore for its unique blend of sweet and savoury, while others find it a "musty, dusty" assault on the senses. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

L'Art de la Guerre opens with a sharp, almost vegetal hit of rhubarb and green apple, invigorating and unusual. This bold fruity start quickly mellows into a heart of aromatic lavender and warm nutmeg, underscored by a surprising, honeyed immortelle. The drydown reveals a rugged leather and earthy oakmoss base, softened by creamy sandalwood and patchouli, creating a complex and intriguing skin scent that lingers for ages.
