L’Artisan Parfumeur introduced L’Eau de Jatamansi this month. The new unisex fragrance is the line’s first 100% natural, certified-organic scent, and follows the recently launched Jatamansi Body Collection.

I do not know if L’Eau de Jatamansi replaces the usual summer limited edition fragrance from L’Artisan this year, but it smells like a summer L’Artisan: a little bit of something spare and refreshing to cool you off on a hot day. The opening is lively and quick — a flash of lightly sugared grapefruit, replaced in short order by woody herbal notes and pale florals…
Next month,
