Jéroboam Ligno is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Vanina Muracciole. Ligno opens with Bergamot, Pine, Geranium, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Iris, Saffron, and Castoreum, and dries down to a base of Musk, Ambroxan, Labdanum, and Ambergris. Jéroboam's Ligno carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Ligno is a seriously divisive beast. Some adore its unashamedly masculine, animalic patchouli; others find it too much, bordering on dated men's fragrance. Definitely one to try before you buy.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Ligno opens with a blast of potent, dry patchouli, cut by sharp pine and herbal clary sage. Geranium adds a green, slightly spicy edge. The heart introduces a rich, leathery castoreum alongside powdery orris and a hint of exotic saffron, deepening the animalic warmth. As it dries, a resinous blend of labdanum, musk, and ambergris creates a dark, sensual base, with ambroxan lending an airy, modern touch to the enduring patchouli.
