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:
Spring Summer

Delicate green, floral, and fruity notes shine in mild to warm weather, making Artemisia ideal for spring and summer. Its airy, powdery profile lacks the depth for colder seasons.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Soft projection and refined powdery freshness make this a perfect office or everyday scent. Elegant, but not ostentatious, it suits daytime dates and casual wear over formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Artemisia Eau de Parfum opens with the dewiness of green leaves and juicy nectarine, quickly softening into a luminous bouquet of lily of the valley and violet. Airy green apple and jasmine tea lend freshness, while a delicate base of vanilla, soft musk, and sandalwood wraps the composition in powdery, clean warmth. Neither overtly sweet nor boldly floral, Artemisia is a serene, ethereal fragrance that lingers close to the skin, radiating quiet grace and effortless sophistication.
