No.704 Lothair

Eden's No.704 takes its cue from Penhaligon's Lothair, a fragrance named after one of the last great sailing clippers, known for its unusual mix of fresh, green and aromatic facets. This alternative opens with a lift of bergamot and grapefruit alongside a touch of cardamom, giving a bright, citrus-forward start that soon settles into a green, juniper-driven heart softened by lavender. The base brings vanilla, cedar and musk together for a warm, powdery finish that is creamy without being heavy. Reviewers of the original often describe it as fresh, a little sweet and a little powdery all at once, and this dupe captures that unusual balance reasonably well, even if the composition reads a touch simpler and less layered than the real thing. What stands out is the longevity, which holds up far better than many other fragrances in Eden's range, making this one worth reaching for again and again. It suits both casual daytime wear and low-key office settings, particularly through spring and summer when its fresh, green character feels most at home.
