L'Artisan Parfumeur Mon Numero 9 is a Cologne launched in 2011, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Mon Numero 9 carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive and short-lived, this isn't the crowd-pleaser its notes suggest. Many find it too sharp or just 'meh', but if you connect with its 'Mediterranean summer' vibe, you'll love it.

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.

About

This cologne kicks off with a sharp, invigorating burst of citron, not the sweet kind but a sophisticated, almost tart lemon. Green notes weave through, some detecting a minty shiso leaf for an herbaceous twist, while others get a touch of rhubarb adding a subtle, tangy depth. As it settles, it smooths out, becoming a clean, slightly soapy skin scent with hints of a woody or even salty undertone, reminiscent of a Mediterranean breeze.
