Lubin L de Lubin is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1974, created by Lucien Ferrero. L de Lubin opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Ylang-Ylang, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Rosewood. Lubin's L de Lubin carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

L de Lubin is a complex, shapeshifting ride through citrus, white florals, and spice that some find utterly chic and modern, while others dismiss it as dated. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for strong personalities. Fair warning: expect passionate commentary on feminism here.

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.

About

L de Lubin opens with a zesty, almost fizzy burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly softened by the lush, creamy sweetness of gardenia and ylang-ylang, with a hint of piquant pepper. As it settles, a rich floral heart of rose, jasmine, and iris emerges, underscored by warm, powdery tonka and a touch of clove. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of woody notes-sandalwood and rosewood-deepened by patchouli, musky vanilla, and the almond-like sweetness of heliotrope. Clean, spicy, and elegantly floral, it feels like a journey through a classic garden.
