Brocard Svetskaya Lvitsa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Svetskaya Lvitsa opens with Apple, Plum, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Brocard's Svetskaya Lvitsa carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Skip this one. It's a forgettable floral-fruity that brings nothing new to the table, and some even find it a bit odd. There are far better options out there for your cash.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's suitable for casual wear or the office where it won't overwhelm. It's a bit too understated for formal events or date nights, leaning more towards a daytime spring scent.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

It opens with a whisper of fresh apple and a touch of tart blackcurrant, alongside the subtle sweetness of plum. The heart blossoms into a light, generic floral blend featuring rose, lily of the valley, and freesia, before settling into a soft base of musk, cedar, and sandalwood. It's pleasant enough, if uninspired.
