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, Pebbles, and Amber. BeauFort London's Lignum Vitae carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-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.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

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.
