Andrea Maack Lightsource is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Andrea Maack's Lightsource carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This '90s rave-inspired number is a bright, peppery citrus with a twist of green fig and rose. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding it unique and uplifting, while others get a slightly off-kilter, plastic doll vibe. Definitely try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Lightsource opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of lemon and petitgrain, quickly joined by the sharp, invigorating kick of pink and black pepper. As the initial citrus dissipates, a soft, dewy rose emerges, intertwined with a subtle, leafy fig note that adds a touch of green sweetness. The dry-down is an aromatic blend, retaining a crisp lemon edge alongside a lingering peppery warmth, with hints of star jasmine lending a delicate floral undercurrent.
