Mon Numéro 3 is part of L’Artisan’s Mon Numéro collection, in which fragrances from the collection are assigned to a retailer in city, who will be the exclusive seller of that frag. Mon Numéro 3 is sold through Ludwig Beck in Munich.
Mon Numéro 3 starts clean and crisp with bergamot and grapefruit, aromatic from sage and lavender and a little spicy from coriander and cardamom. The effect is beautiful, soft and exhilarating. But there’s no time to linger because this opening leads right to a heart of iris – cool, earthy and rooty at first, and then floral as carnation and cyclamen come forward. The surprise here, for me, is the carnation – creamy, pretty and totally unexpected, it complements the iris perfectly. As it blooms, the floral heart moves to a musky base of patchouli and vetiver, lightened by hay and sweetened by tonka bean. What a stunner – if my knees weren’t so bad, I’d kneel every time I put it on.
Mon Numéro 3 is a refined scent that is built around a stunning iris heart laid on a musky, sensuous base. It has an elegance that makes it perfectly unisex and perfectly wearable any time of year.
