Artemis — an expressive fragrance by Sherwood Perfumer
Sherwood Perfumer Artemis is a unisex fragrance from the American brand Sherwood Perfumer, released in 2024.
The composition is presented as an extrait de parfum, giving it a rich, full-bodied character designed for those who enjoy noticeable fragrance accords.
Artemis combines floral, fruity and woody facets, complemented by green, citrus, balsamic, musky, spicy, aromatic, mossy and animalic nuances.
The Character and Mood of the Composition
Artemis unfolds as a complex, contrasting and highly expressive fragrance. Its mood is built around the interplay of freshness, floral softness, dark woods and deep animalic nuances.
This is not a light, everyday perfume with little sillage, but a full-bodied extrait with a powerful presence that can emphasize individuality and leave a distinctive impression.
The fragrance will appeal to women and men who prefer rich unisex compositions without an obvious division into “feminine” and “masculine” scents.
It combines cool greenery, floral transparency and resinous woody depth, so its character may change depending on skin temperature, the season and the amount applied.
How Artemis Unfolds
The opening combines juicy blackcurrant, the sparkling citrus facets of bergamot and grapefruit, green apple and fresh herbal nuances.
Lavender, rosemary, geranium, neroli, orange blossom, May rose, boronia and juniper unfold alongside them.
This combination makes the opening simultaneously fruity, green, airy and slightly tart.
In the heart, the fragrance becomes denser and more complex: floral notes of rose, iris, jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley and white acacia intertwine with violet leaf, cypress, clary sage and oud.
Castoreum and civet lend particular depth, creating a warm, sensual and slightly wild facet. Gradually, the fresh opening gives way to a darker, velvety character.
Sillage and Longevity
Artemis is described as having very strong sillage: the fragrance is noticeable in the surrounding space and is well suited to those who appreciate an expressive development.
The extrait is a fitting choice for cool weather, evening outings, special occasions and situations when perfume should be part of the overall look rather than merely a light aromatic background.
No precise recommendations for application to skin or clothing have been provided for this release.
Given its high concentration and reported sillage, it is sensible to begin with a small number of sprays and assess the development of the composition specifically on skin.
The Base and Signature Accent
The final stage of Artemis is built around oakmoss, labdanum, incense, patchouli, grey amber, Texas cedar and vetiver.
Oud continues the heart's character, while bourbon vanilla adds a resinous, sweet roundness.
Musk and animalic nuances support the density of the base, allowing the fragrance to retain its characteristic volume and linger on the skin for a long time.
The defining feature of Sherwood Perfumer Artemis is its multilayered balance between a fresh fruity-green opening, a rich floral heart and a powerful woody-balsamic base.
This is a choice for lovers of complex perfumery who enjoy unusual transitions and a noticeable fragrance presence.
For a similar mood, you could explore Henry Rose Boys of Summer, although Artemis smells considerably deeper, denser and more dramatic.
