Lubin Kismet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1921. Kismet opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Rose, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Labdanum, and Opoponax. Lubin's Kismet carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A subtle, mesmerizing vanilla-amber that glides on like a veil, Kismet is a comforting embrace for quiet moments. Forget the Shalimar comparisons- this one stands elegantly on its own.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Kismet opens with a delicate whisper of citrus and neroli, a brief bright overture before ushering in the warm, quiet heart of vanilla and a hint of soft rose. The journey culminates in a smooth, resinous opoponax base. It's a scent that lingers close, a soft, inviting aura rather than a commanding presence, with the vanilla offering a continuous, comforting warmth throughout its wear.
