Jatamansi by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Jatamansi was launched in 2007. The nose behind this fragrance is Karine Vinchon Spehner. Top notes are Clary Sage, Grapefruit, Bergamot and Cardamom; middle notes are Nard Himalayan (Jatamansi), Chamomile, Ylang-Ylang and Rose; base notes are Papyrus, Vetiver, Incense, Tea, Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood and Patchouli. The French perfume house L’Artisan Parfumeur launched its first completely natural (with the ecology certificate) line of products for body and soul. The line is named Jatamansi. Jatamansi is Sanskrit word for Himalayan grass known as Himalayan Nard. This rear herb grows at the height or 3000 meters in India, China and Pakistan and is used as a sedative, very similar to valerian. Unlike valerian, Jatamansi smells very pleasantly, like a precious musk. L'Eau de Jatamansi is a woody fragrance with aromatic green accords and velvety touch of balm and resin. The fresh citrusy opening of grapefruit, bergamot and aromatic herbs is replaced after a while with woody accords and sweet note of rose petals ( Nard, rose and ylang-ylang). Base notes introduce warmth and comfort of incense, Saintwood, Australian sandalwood and light papyrus. Jatamansi is a beautiful example of L’Artisan Parfumeur’s composition, inspired by nature, very precise and minimalistic. It was created in 2007.
