Larmes du Désert
Larmes du Désert by Atelier des Ors is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with incense, cypress and guaiac wood, moves into patchouli, cedarwood and benzoin and dries down to labdanum and amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Heart
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
