Hellenistà l’ombre d'Artémis4.37 ratingsSample Sunday… the opening of this immediately reminded me of a perfume that I absolutely love - Super Moon.
It’s taken about 5 mins for the fig note to come through. First impressions, it’s a delightful fresh, clean and juicy fruity floral. It’s not overly green. Let’s see how this goes.
Wore it on September 6, 2026

@ylang_ylang_custard I remember you saying that you love the blackcurrant and Lily of the valley opening of this, but it then went a bit too masculine for you?… defo recommend checking out Super Moon

Ooh, I will! That sounds really interesting!

Blackcurrant! I don’t see that note in many perfumes. Is it very noticeable? Armani Si has blackcurrant leaves but I wouldn’t categorise it as fruity.

I think Sì has chambord note (blackcurrant liqueur). In à l’ombre d'Artémis it’s blended amongst the florals, so it not like smelling Ribena. It’s definitely fresh, juicy and fruity but clean. As this is drying down, the Vetiver and woods are more apparent so it does feel more unisex with a masculine lean. I’m enjoying this, but it’s making me want to go and douse myself in my beloved Super Moon, which to me, is a sweeter, juicier and feminine version of this scent profile.

Thank you for the detailed reply 💕 Super Moon sounds like my type of fragrance!

I love it. It’s one of those perfumes that I put as ‘really nice’ the first time I wore it, and then became utterly addicted to it.

Have yet to sample this house. But keep hearing good things!

This is lovely but it starts leaning very masculine to me in the dry down.
MoMarie@momarie
I haven’t tried anything yet from this house but am intrigued for sure. Any others you’d recommend?

This is one of the 3 I like most! You’re right though, it does start to lean more masculine as it goes on (I don’t really mind that but I was surprised my partner isn’t keen on wearing it)

I’ve heard such good things about the brand but have yet to sample

They’re great from my experience so far!

Fig is one of my favorite notes. I saw a couple reviews compare it to Philosykos. Are they similar to you?
Curlyhen@curlyhen
Not at all similar to me. The fig in à l’ombre d'Artémis is very subtle.

Replying to @curlyhen
Yes! That makes me want to try it even more haha. I was worried it would be a waste to order a sample if they were very similar.

Ok I smelled this one the other day and *almost* bought it over Le’s Dieux aux Bains. What depth in this one!

This opens a little like what I think of when I think the word “cologne” - that is, light, clean, sparkly and a touch on the masculine side. Honestly the closest memory I have that fits is if I’ve

Taking a day off after dealing with some big emergencies yesterday. I love this fragrance so much, I’m wearing it again. This is definitely in my top 25, maybe even top 10.

Love the fresh crisp bergamot, lily of the valley, and currant top notes, but the dry down leans a little too masc on me. Will pass this sample on for spouse to try!
JessPopps
This is a little bit what I expect when someone tells me they’re wearing a “masculine” scent - I think both my boyfriend and my dad would wear this well. But maybe that’s why I like it, I feel very

This might be my favorite niche discovery of 2026. One of the most beautiful fragrances I’ve ever smelled
