L'Anarchiste

by Richard Fraysse

Parfums Caron L'Anarchiste is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Richard Fraysse. L'Anarchiste opens with Orange Blossom and Mint, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Musk. Parfums Caron's L'Anarchiste carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

L'Anarchiste is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a divisive mix of bracing mint, spiced woods, and challenging metallic undertones. It’s certainly unique, but definitely sample before committing.

About

Opening with a bracing, almost medicinal blast of mint and orange blossom, L'Anarchiste quickly delves into a complex heart. Here, a dry, woody blend of vetiver, sandalwood, guaiac wood, and cedar is intricately woven with a persistent, warm cinnamon. The base settles into a clean, musky finish, retaining hints of its distinctive minty, spicy, and subtly metallic character throughout its unusual journey.
