Fragrance Notes and Experience
Top notes: Nectarine and green foliage provide an immediate, vibrant brightness that evokes sunlit fruit on fresh leaves.
Middle notes: Green apple, lily of the valley, jasmine tea, violet, cyclamen and lily petals form a luminous floral core. Vanilla flirts with the mix, adding a gentle sweetness that keeps the fruit from overpowering the bouquet.
Base notes: Oakmoss, sandalwood, musk, amber and vanilla create a warm, enveloping foundation. A hint of caramel sweetness and subtle warm spices emerge as the fragrance settles, producing a powdery, silky dry-down that lingers gracefully on the skin.
Overall, Artemisia balances bright, clean fruit and florals with a sophisticated, comforting warmth. The result is a fragrance that feels polished yet approachable, and equally suited to daytime sophistication and evening elegance.
Why You Should Choose Artemisia

How to Use
- Hold the bottle about 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) from the skin and apply one to two sprays to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) for balanced diffusion.
- Spray on moisturized skin after a shower to help the fragrance bloom and last longer.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together after spraying to preserve the fragrance’s nuanced layers and longevity.
- Reapply as needed throughout the day, concentrating on warmth-prone areas or places you want the scent to be noticed.
- Let Artemisia settle naturally on the skin; keep away from direct heat for the first hour to maintain diffusion and prevent rapid evaporation.
