Lubin Akkad is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Delphine Thierry. Akkad opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Cardamom, Frankincense, Elemi, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Lubin's Akkad carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a stunner for amber lovers, a true masterpiece that's getting rave reviews. Akkad's a gorgeous, deep amber that's so well-blended, it'll have you sniffing your arm all day. Definitely a must-try if you're into rich, warm fragrances, though some find the opening a bit much before it settles into its creamy glory.

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
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with an aromatic punch of clary sage and a flash of citrus, quickly melting into a heart of elemi and frankincense, giving a delicate pine resin combined with smoky, spicy warmth. The base is where it truly shines, a sumptuous blend of labdanum, vanilla-tinged amber, and a subtle patchouli, creating a long-lasting, comforting glow.
