Where Narcissus is Daffodil

It's funny how the name "daffodil" connotes to me a sort of country bumpkin, hoi polloi flower, which some tobacco-chewing hick might pick to give to his sweetheart. "Narcissus" conjures up, in contrast, the image of a regal princess adorned in lavish purple velvet robes and covered with jewelry made of gold. Perhaps this is peculiar to me...???

Anyway, L'Artisan Parfumeur FLEUR DE NARCISSE smells a lot like daffodils to me, as it has a marked dirtiness that I'm not accustomed to sniffing in the creations from this house. Even their leathers always seem so gentle (and genteel...), but here I find some seriously dirty daffodils, their roots all covered with soil. This composition also has a slightly sour cast, which definitely makes it seem more complex than a little bunch of freshly picked daffodils, but I'm not sure that I really like what I smell.

In an effort to determine whether I actually like FLEUR DE NARCISSE, I decided to do a side-by-side with Caron NARCISSE NOIR, which I have not worn in a while. The verdict? I guess that I'm just lucky, 'cause I very much prefer the sweet narcissus of the Caron to the dirty daffodils of L'Artisan. (Phew, what a relief!)

Rare beauty

This is such an outstanding extraordinary creation!

I love every single note I smell! Right from the beginning until it dries and settles down.
The enchanting aroma of narcissus sweetened just a little bit by mimosa. Tobacco is striking you in an intense way you can hardly resist! Hay tones are also there, to form the whole composition in a unique way!

I have a small decant spray of this masterpiece, I wish I could obtain the magical bottle!
Even though the sillage is not good, the longevity is quite normal and satisfying!
Highly reccomended!

Understated Tobacco-Floral

Fleur de Narcisse goes on citric and bright, a little sour, fresh, and slightly green. I do understand the "vinegar" accusations, but it's closer to a light lemon or perhaps even cranberry to my nose.

The core is a diaphanous floral note. I am not going to say it's not narcissus, but it reminds me far more of freesia than any narcissus I know. It airy, cool, and transparent, and completely lacking any heady, narcotic properties.

The drydown emerges slowly, and after many hours, the florals morph into a delicate tobacco accord that's sheer to the skin.

I don't know that I'd call this a chypre, but there is the faint, glassy shell of one around the floral core; a twang of citrus, and a dab of moss. It's all very understated, but exquisitely proportioned.

Fleur de Narcisse

This fragrance opens with a strong alcoholic root-y note, reminiscent of a herbal tincture. What I see can be described as vegetal/herbal, sweet yet bitter at the same time. As the fragrance progresses it gradually softens and I detect traces of hay and smoke mixed together with root-y florals. If I had to associate a colour and a texture to this scent, it would be a dark amber and gooey. Unusual and complex, this fragrance is quite hard to wear. However, should it agree with your skin chemistry it is a very sophisticated scent.

Extinct Daffodil

As far as I know, Fleur de Narcisse was a perfume that was limited to 3000 bottles in 2006. It's a real shame, I must say, because this scent is truly incredibly beautiful. A very authentic reproduction of a real floral scent. When you wear it, you feel as if you have your nose permanently buried in a daffodil bloom. For me, it is therefore one of the most perfect spring and summer fragrances I have ever smelled.

I also gave it to my girlfriend to test. She liked it very much as well, and I even considered giving it to her as a gift until I read about the limitation.

However, there seem to be significant differences in sillage and longevity with this fragrance. While the scent was omnipresent but not intrusive for me, it was almost unnoticeable on my girlfriend. I had to be right at the spot where she applied it to perceive anything. Maybe it has to do with her skin chemistry, I don't know. But that doesn't matter too much now, as she also liked Fou d' Absinth - so I will probably gift her that one instead.

Still, it's a shame that L'artisan limits their fragrances at all, and when they are as well done as Fleur de Narcisse, it makes it all the more bitter.
