Penhaligon's Levantium is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014, created by Christian Provenzano. Levantium opens with Bergamot, Saffron, Artemisia, and Wormwood, and settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Ylang-Ylang. Penhaligon's's Levantium carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
