Passage d'Enfer in detail
L'Artisan Parfumeur, the Paris house founded in 1976 by Jean Laporte, owes Passage d'Enfer to Olivia Giacobetti. Its name is that of a small street in Paris; the house files it among its florals, its amber and its woody scents at once.
The house publishes three key ingredients, without sorting them into stages. Lily, a bright, slightly spicy white flower, is at its centre. Resinous incense wraps it in a clear smoke, as in a church. A soft white musk mellows the whole and brings it close to the skin.
Passage d'Enfer is worn in autumn and winter, by day or in the evening. It is a floral, airy incense, far from dark incenses, for those who like mystical scents without heaviness. It suits the office as well as a quiet evening.
Three florals in our catalogue share some of its materials: Night Scented Jasmine by Floris brings together lily and musk; Dia Woman and Existence by Amouage pair incense and musk.
