Our verdict on Levantium: Statement

Levantium is a bold, divisive beast. You'll either adore its complex, herbal-spicy-oud blend or find yourself questioning what hit you. Definitely one to sample before committing, as it's not a safe blind buy for anyone.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its bold, warm spicy and oud accords lend themselves to cooler weather and evening wear, making it excellent for formal events and dates. While it has moderate longevity and sillage for an EDT, its intensity might be too much for casual or office settings.

About

Levantium opens with an assertive blast of wormwood, saffron, and bergamot, hinting at its absinthe-like character. Soon, a rich, warm spicy heart emerges, featuring rose, ylang-ylang, cardamom, and a touch of peach, adding a subtle floral sweetness that quickly mellows. The drydown unveils a deep, woody-oud core, intertwined with earthy patchouli and amber, maintaining a consistent warmth with a hint of powdery richness at the very end.
