Olivier Durbano Lapis Lazuli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Olivier Durbano. Lapis Lazuli opens with Cypress, Rose, Clove, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Wheat, Iris, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Olivier Durbano's Lapis Lazuli carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly unique scent that defies easy categorisation. Lapis Lazuli is a dense, aromatic journey that some find captivatingly unusual, while others might label it as too medicinal. It's a love-it-or-leave-it kind of fragrance, but for those who get it, it's pure magic.

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.

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly bitter greenness from wormwood and cypress, softened by a ghostly rose and a hint of spicy clove. The heart introduces a surprising wheat note, offering a nutty, almost earthy texture, alongside dry thyme and a powdery touch of iris. It settles into a warm, resinous base of elemi, tolu balsam, and amber, grounded by vetiver and cedar for an overall woody, balsamic, and subtly spicy character that's deep and contemplative.
