By the editors · 2 min readArtemisia opens with a green, slightly bitter clarity that quickly softens into a luminous floral heart. The jasmine feels restrained rather than indolic, cushioned by lily of the valley's clean sweetness and a whisper of violet that lends an old-fashioned, powdery refinement. Vanilla appears early, threading through the florals without turning gourmand, more like the vanilla you'd find in a vintage face powder than a dessert.
The base settles into a mossy sandalwood with amber warmth and soft musk, conjuring the atmosphere of a well-kept Edwardian dressing room. It's recognizably Penhaligon's in its genteel Britishness—polite, pretty, slightly prim. Artemisia suits someone drawn to floral fragrances with traditional bones, who wants presence without fanfare. It feels like afternoon light through lace curtains, composed and quietly self-assured.
