Key Notes of Artemisia

What Does Artemisia Smell Like

Artemisia by Penhaligon's is a women's perfume that embodies a delicate blend of floral, powdery, green, fresh, and sweet notes. At first sniff, the top notes of green leaves and nectarine create a crisp and natural aroma, reminiscent of a dewy spring morning. These initial scents soon give way to an elegant bouquet of floral middle notes, featuring prominent lily of the valley and violet. These floral tones are beautifully balanced by subtle hints of green apple, jasmine tea, and vanilla, adding depth and a touch of sweetness to the composition.

As the perfume dries down, the base notes of musk, oakmoss, sandalwood, vanilla, and amber begin to emerge. The musk provides a soft, smooth undertone that anchors the fragrance, while the oakmoss contributes an earthy, grounding element. The sandalwood and vanilla work together to add a touch of warmth, enhancing the overall femininity and richness of the scent. Finally, a hint of amber adds a subtle touch of sensuality and depth, making Artemisia by Penhaligon's a beautifully balanced and refined fragrance that is perfect for the modern woman.

Review of Artemisia

Artemisia by Penhaligon's, released in 2002, is an eau de parfum primarily aimed at women. This floral and powdery scent is ideal for those who appreciate a touch of green freshness, a hint of sweetness, and a subtle fruity undertone. The woody and spicy elements present in this fragrance create a balanced and well-rounded profile that doesn't overpower the senses.

Perfect for spring and fall, Artemisia is suitable for daily wear, leisure activities, and business environments. Its moderate sillage ensures that it will not overwhelm the surroundings, making it a lovely choice for those who prefer a more understated scent. The longevity of the fragrance is decent, but users may need to reapply throughout the day to maintain its presence.

The perfume has a predominantly female audience, but its composition can be appreciated by a smaller number of men who enjoy floral and powdery scents. While it is not the top choice for winter or a night out, Artemisia can still hold its own in those settings.

In terms of value, Artemisia offers a reasonable quality-to-price ratio. While it may not be considered a steal, it is a worthy investment for individuals seeking a versatile, floral perfume that can transition seamlessly from daytime to evening wear. Overall, Penhaligon's Artemisia is a solid choice for those drawn to floral scents with an understated elegance.
