Lapidus

by Martin Gras

Ted Lapidus Lapidus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1987, created by Martin Gras. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon, and Basil, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Rosewood, and dries down to a base of Tobacco, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on Lapidus: Acquired

Lapidus Pour Homme: a true 80s powerhouse. It's a divisive beast - you'll either adore its audacious blend of honey and masculinity, or you'll recoil from its unapologetic vintage roar. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those who know, it's a masterpiece.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

This is a beast-mode fragrance with strong projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting where it could easily overwhelm. Its bold, masculine character and sensual honey-tobacco notes lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though some find it too 'old-school' for modern palates. It's a bit much for casual wear, and definitely not for sport.

About

Opening with a surprising burst of sweet pineapple and keen lemon, swiftly underpinned by aromatic lavender and herbaceous basil. This quickly descends into a rich heart where syrupy honey mingles with a distinct blend of pine and incense, softened by florals like rose and jasmine. The drydown is a deeply resonant base of musky oakmoss, earthy patchouli, and warm amber, all touched by a hint of tobacco, creating a complex, rugged, yet oddly refined character.
