Fragrance Du Bois London Spice is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by François Merle-Baudoin. London Spice opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Peppermint, settles into a heart of White Flowers, Sea Water, Jasmine, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Cardamom, and Nutmeg. Fragrance Du Bois's London Spice carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

London Spice is a divisive, high-quality modern fougere that smells fantastic to many but underperforms for its luxury price tag. Expect compliments if it works for you.

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.

About

Opens with a brisk, invigorating burst of bergamot, lemon, and a subtle, refreshing mint. The heart introduces a sophisticated barbershop vibe with clean lavender and delicate white florals, complemented by a fresh, aquatic nuance. As it settles, a warm, earthy base of cedar, cardamom, and a hint of patchouli provides a refined depth, grounding the bright opening with a smooth, spicy character.
