It thrives in temperatures between 15 and 26 degrees Celsius, though very warm skin will accelerate the top-note camphor.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“LabSolue 10 Artemisia Editorial Review: Bitter Botanical Clarity”
Henri Fontannaz opens 10 Artemisia with an immediate, bracing jolt of crushed citrus medica leaves and pungent silver wormwood. There is no polite powdery buffer or sugary citrus padding here. Within seconds, a brisk wave of eucalyptus sweeps in, bringing a cooling, camphoraceous bite that clears the head like stepping into a northern Italian herbalist shop on an April morning. The green facets feel raw, wild, and intensely alive from the very first spray.
As the brisk opening calms over the first thirty minutes, the composition reveals its herbal core. Earthy clary sage enters to tame the medicinal chill, wrapping the bitter artemisia in a soft, dry green warmth. The citrus fades into the background, leaving behind a slightly savory, aromatic tea-like quality that simmers close to the flesh. You catch subtle wafts of sun-dried garden herbs whenever your body heat rises during a brisk morning walk.
On skin, the transition into the dry-down is smooth, disciplined, and remarkably dry. Rather than collapsing into heavy amber or synthetic laundry musks, 10 Artemisia anchors itself upon clean cedarwood and subtle woody facets. The camphor subsides into a faint hum, allowing the natural, bitter-green characteristics of artemisia and sage to remain the focal point throughout the wear. The wood remains bone-dry and transparent, providing structure without adding unnecessary weight or sweetness.
In terms of performance, 10 Artemisia delivers around 5 to 7 hours of longevity on clean skin. Projection stays within arm's length for roughly ninety minutes as the volatile eucalyptus and citrus leaves disperse, before drawing in close to form a personal sage-tinged scent bubble. This quiet sillage makes it an exceptional choice for warm office settings, clinical environments, and humid spring commutes where heavier scents cause fatigue. You can spray generously without fearing that you will overwhelm the person sitting next to you on a train.
This fragrance clearly belongs to lovers of botanical realism, architects, and minimalists who favor crisp linen over heavy wool. It will thoroughly disappoint anyone seeking creamy vanilla, sugary amber, or sweet designer fruit. If your taste leans toward dry Mediterranean herbs, clary sage, and refreshing green artemisia bitterness, the composition provides a focused, contemplative alternative to mainstream freshies. It refuses to compromise its dry, herbal vision for mass-market appeal.
For shoppers on the fence, 10 Artemisia is a definitive sample-first proposition. The bitter wormwood and medicinal eucalyptus opening demand an appreciation for unadorned herbal perfumery. If you want an everyday botanical signature for spring and summer that stays clean, crisp, and quiet over dry cedarwood, a full bottle earns its keep on your shelf.
