L'Artisan Parfumeur Seville a l'Aube is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Seville a l'Aube opens with Olive Tree and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Lavender, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Benzoin and Frankincense. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Seville a l'Aube carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. A deeply divisive orange blossom, some find it a gorgeous, complex masterpiece, others a cloying, 'corn chip' nightmare. Best try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

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.

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With substantial sillage and impressive longevity, this can be a bit much for the office. It leans into 'special occasion' territory, making it fantastic for dates and formal events, but still versatile enough for a confident casual night out.

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

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

Seville a l'Aube plunges you straight into a rich, complex orange blossom, green and intensely floral, immediately tempered by a honeyed beeswax warmth. As it settles, hints of smoky incense and a leafy petitgrain meander through, punctuated by an unexpected earthy, almost savoury, tobacco note. The dry down is a comforting, resinous amber with that persistent sweet, waxy floral.
