Eudora Lyra is a Cologne launched in 2020, created by David Apel and Isaac Sinclair. Lyra opens with Kiwi, Blueberry, Osmanthus, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Violet, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Maltol, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Eudora's Lyra carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Lyra is a sweet, playful fruity-floral that's divided opinion slightly - some find it uniquely charming, others a touch too powdery. Definitely one for the 'princessy' vibe if that's your thing.

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

  • Coumarin from Tonka Bean
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Moss

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

Opens with a juicy burst of strawberry syrup, blueberry, and kiwi, quickly softened by plush apricot and osmanthus. The heart blooms with a gentle floral bouquet of jasmine, iris, and violet, adding a subtle, powdery elegance. As it settles, a warm base of tonka bean, amber, and creamy sandalwood emerges, grounded by a hint of musk and a unique Eudora accord. It's a sweet, soft evolution from start to finish.
