Laboratory Perfumes Samphire is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013. Samphire opens with Citron, Bergamot, Lemon, and Lime, settles into a heart of Grapefruit, Mandarin, Lemongrass, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, Jasmine, and Iris. Laboratory Perfumes's Samphire carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive, fresh-spicy aromatic that delivers barbershop classic vibes, perfect for those who crave a clean, uplifting scent. While some find its sherbet lemon opening a bit too much, others declare it a signature worthy, high-quality offering.

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

Samphire opens with an invigorating burst of fizzy citrus and sharp juniper, immediately spiced up by a crackle of black pepper. As it evolves, an aromatic heart of lavender, basil, and rosemary emerges, lending a distinctly clean and herbaceous character. Finally, a grounding base of oakmoss, iris, and a hint of warm amber provides a sophisticated, almost barbershop-like finish, all without any actual samphire.
