Laurent Mazzone Parfums Radikal Lotus is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018. Radikal Lotus opens with Freesia, Saffron, and Guava, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Laurent Mazzone Parfums's Radikal Lotus carries an Acquired verdict, an elemental-led wear.

This one's a proper dark horse. Forget the 'Radikal Lotus' name; it's a surprising shapeshifter that splits opinions right down the middle. Some find a fresh, juicy opening, others dive straight into an intense, Arabian-inspired rose. Definitely not one for a blind 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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong, warm spicy and amber character, this scent is best suited for evening wear like dates or formal events where its richness can shine. It's too intense for casual daytime wear or sporting activities and might be overwhelming in an office setting.

Declarable allergens

About

Radikal Lotus kicks off with a fleeting, exotic rush of guava and freesia, quickly shadowed by a prominent, syrupy rose deepened by spicy saffron. As it settles, a dark, almost animalic patchouli and warm ambergris emerge, lending a brooding depth, with vanilla adding a touch of powdery sweetness. The eponymous lotus is often elusive, mostly acting as a subtle, airy counterpoint to the richer notes.
