L'Artisan Parfumeur Passage D'enfer Unisex edt 100 ml

Passage D'enfer from L'Artisan Parfumeur is a perfume with a mystical name, translated as “the gates of hell.” The scent smells of incense, like smoke from hot ashes. Olivia Giacobetti worked on the scent, and the composition was completed in 1999. Delicate incense, like a soft mist, envelops the body, this has already become the signature of the perfumer. Unlike the dark and mysterious Armani Privé Bois d'Encens, L'Artisan Parfumeur Passage D'enfer is more real, real. They absorbed all the harsh darkness from the incense, filling it with a fresh, floral softness.
In the composition, the notes are placed one on top of the other, rather than appearing sequentially. But after a few hours, you can notice how the aroma becomes transparent and slowly evaporates. Balsamic notes enhance the unusualness of the smell; an interesting move is the combination of resinous incense and flowers. The floral notes initially overpower the incense, but then become a soft, delicate accent, surrounding the main note.
The drydown is very clean, with a slight hint of vanilla. It was as if the candles had burned out, the censer had gone out, and the incense had become ash. Despite the strong ecclesiastical meaning that the scent of incense conveys, L'Artisan Parfumeur Passage D'enfer remains a fairly light, pleasant perfume. The sharp beginning and opening of the scent symbolize the 9 circles of hell, like Dante’s, and the smooth heart and trail symbolize purgatory, cleansing from sins and ascension to heaven. The aroma is called the embodiment of the liturgy “Lord, have mercy”, a real masterpiece.
Many, having heard the name of the perfume, expect a dark, gloomy and gloomy smell. But despite the creative name, the aroma is smooth, silky, not at all sharp or acrid. It is refined, subtle, melancholic and a little cool, but without metallic notes. Women love it for its tenderness, purity, and meditative calm. If you like bold, loud, sexy scents, L'Artisan Parfumeur Passage D'enfer is not for you. It does not create a heavy cloud around the wearer, it does not move away from the skin and lasts quite a long time.
This is the most spiritual, church smell that you can imagine. Available only to the elite, the initiated.
