L'Eau de L'Artisan L'Artisan Parfumeur 2018 Eau de Cologne

Can a reformulation be better than the original? In this case, yes!
Olivia Giacobetti's L'Eau de l'Artisan was launched in 1993 as an Eau de Toilette. I have been a fan for a long time, as it is one of the few fragrances that smells of meadow and hay. Therefore, I was all the more curious whether the reformulation in 2018 would bring something good, especially since the Eau de Toilette version was taken off the market.
I want to say right away: Olivia Giacobetti has succeeded in reinterpreting the fragrance and bringing it into the modern age without changing its fundamental DNA!
Now to the scent: It starts fresher and more citrusy than the Eau de Toilette. Lemon and verbena are the perfect start, transitioning to meadow and hay accords. The base is characterized by woody accords that remain gently in the background.
Overall, a Cologne masterpiece by Olivia Giacobetti! And all without sharp citrus and with a watercolor-like lightness that knows how to enchant.
The longevity and sillage correspond to that of an Eau de Cologne. But one is happy to spray more.
