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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Lothair's aromatic, green, and spicy facets make it ideal for spring and fall, when its complexity and freshness shine without being overpowering. Its woody base and moderate sweetness can work in cooler weather, but it may be too dense for peak summer or deep winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The refined yet approachable character is perfect for the office, dates, and casual outings. Its moderate projection keeps it elegant and inoffensive, while the unique tea and fig notes add a touch of intrigue without being too bold for formal 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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Lothair Eau de Parfum opens with a crisp burst of juniper, cardamom, and fig leaf, evoking the brisk sea breeze on a clipper ship. At its heart, the fragrance unfurls a smooth black tea accord, deepened by creamy fig tree, lavender, and a touch of floral magnolia. The base grounds everything with rich cedar, vanilla, and a salty whisper of ambergris and oakmoss, creating an aromatic-woody scent that is both modern and timeless. It's an invitation to refined adventure, delicate yet quietly assertive.
