Navitus Parfums Lautus is a Parfum launched in 2020, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Lautus opens with Yuzu, Neroli, Lavender, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Iris, Freesia, Juniper, and Cascarilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Rosewood. Navitus Parfums's Lautus carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This 'barbershop' style scent is a refined, all-rounder that's sparked a bizarre online feud more interesting than the fragrance itself. Ignore the drama, it's a classy wear for any sophisticated adult.

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.

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature, coupled with its refined barbershop character, make it suitable for a range of occasions. It's sophisticated enough for formal settings and dates, yet clean and versatile enough for daily wear, though not ideal for vigorous sport.

About

Lautus opens with a zesty, clean burst of yuzu and lemon verbena, softened by fresh neroli and a touch of aromatic lavender, hinting at its classic fougère inspirations. The heart introduces a cool, powdery iris intertwined with the spicy, green notes of juniper and cascarilla, adding a unique, almost vintage depth. As it settles, a smooth, creamy sandalwood and warm vanilla emerge, underpinned by earthy patchouli and a sophisticated hint of ambergris, creating a lasting, elegant embrace.
