L'Artisan Parfumeur Contes du Levant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Christophe Raynaud. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Contes du Levant carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This rose-patchouli-incense bomb is a more masculine, less jammy alternative to the iconic Portrait of a Lady. It's divisive, with some finding it lacking depth, while others adore its dark, baroque charm.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it won't overpower, but the dark, spicy rose profile leans away from casual or sporty settings. It's best suited for evenings, dates, or more formal events where its character can truly shine.

About

Contes du Levant opens with a spicy kick of pink and black pepper, quickly mingling with the rich, sometimes earthy, embrace of patchouli. As it settles, a prominent rose, both damask and Turkish, emerges, softened by the resinous warmth of labdanum. A smoky undercurrent of incense weaves through, adding a contemplative depth that lingers as a dry, leathery finish.
