Illuminum Trumpet Flower is an Eau de Parfum, created by Michael Boadi. Trumpet Flower opens with Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Datura and Honey, and dries down to a base of Musk, Guaiac Wood, and Benzoin. Illuminum's Trumpet Flower carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Trumpet Flower is a divisive, intoxicating white floral powerhouse. You'll either adore its humid, 'deathly' lily interpretation or be utterly overwhelmed. Not for the faint-hearted.

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its eternal longevity and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, but perfect for evening dates where you want to make a bold impression. It's too heavy for casual wear, but could hold its own at some formal events, though its unique character leans more mysterious than traditionally elegant.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • 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 an aggressive burst of white florals, driven by jasmine and orange blossom, but quickly morphs into a heady, banana-like lily accord that dominates the experience. A subtle cumin adds a 'dirty' edge, while honey provides a syrupy sweetness. The dry down introduces a sensual musk, alongside the smoky nuances of guaiac wood and the balsamic warmth of benzoin, creating a dense, almost gothic floral tapestry.
