Ted Lapidus Poker Face is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018. Poker Face opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, Lavender, and Mint, settles into a heart of Iris, Pepper, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Ted Lapidus's Poker Face carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper dark horse. Often described as "LNDL with iris", Poker Face delivers a sweet, spicy, and subtly powdery aura at a ridiculously good price. Performance is debated, but for the money, it's a solid win for nighttime wear. Just let it macerate, yeah?

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.

Its intimate sillage and smooth, sensual accords like warm spice, iris, and tonka bean make it ideal for date nights and romantic encounters. While many describe it as a night scent, its subtle nature may work for some formal occasions, though it's too rich and powdery for sport or casual daytime wear.

About

Poker Face opens with a fresh, aromatic burst of mint and lavender, swiftly joined by a creamy, slightly earthy iris. The heart introduces a warm, enveloping cardamom and a hint of peppery spice. As it dries down, a vanilla-like tonka bean blend with cedar and patchouli creates a smooth, sweet, and woody base, with that powdery iris still lingering elegantly.
