L'Artisan Parfumeur
Passage d'Enfer
A fragrance playing on the contrasting facets of incense; its dry and poignant freshness is rounded by the scent of white musk and lilies.
Passage d’Enfer pays homage to the Parisian location of L’Artisan Parfumeur’s office in the 1970s. It conjures up images of chilled cathedral walls and echoes of rituals and incantations. Translucent lily and white musk sweeten the balsamic smoke of incense. Passage d’Enfer is also a wicked play on words, the symbolic “Hells passage”, a moment caught between two worlds. The name may be dark and unsettling, but the scent itself is tranquil and contemplative.

With body temperature, a perfume releases its scents. Hence, spray your fragrance on warm spots of your body as for instance on the neck and along the neckline, behind the knees, inside the elbows and wrists or behind the earlobes.
To prolong the scent of your perfume as you move, you may also spray it on your clothes from a certain distance by favouring natural materials such as wool, cotton and velvet.
