Lapis Lazuli

by Olivier Durbano

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

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.
