BeauFort London Lignum Vitae is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Lignum Vitae opens with Red Fruits, Citron, Sea Water, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Salt, Musk, Mineral, and Amber. BeauFort London's Lignum Vitae carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive gourmand, with a startlingly realistic lemon biscuit accord that some adore for its playful nostalgia and unique charm, and others find utterly unwearable, preferring to smell like anything but a baked good. Approach with caution, but commend its sheer originality.

About

Imagine a lemon shortbread biscuit, fresh from the oven, with a twist of sea air and a sprinkle of salt. Lignum Vitae opens with a bright, zesty hit of lemon and lime, quickly followed by the comforting warmth of biscuit and caramel. As it settles, subtle marine notes and a spicy kick of ginger emerge, grounded by a soft, woody base of guaiac wood and a hint of vanilla and amber. It's an unusual blend of sweet, fresh, and salty.
