Le Couvent Maison de Parfum Smyrna is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Le Couvent Maison de Parfum's Smyrna carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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

Smyrna opens with a sharp burst of citrus and a bold, fiery black pepper, quickly giving way to the star of the show: a deep, red Turkish rose. This isn't a sweet or jammy bloom; it's a mature, slightly earthy rose, perfectly balanced by the dry spice of cardamom. As it settles, warm woody notes and vetiver emerge, grounding the composition and adding a subtle, clean earthiness that lingers beautifully.
