Tom Daxon Laconia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Tom Daxon. Laconia opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet Leaf, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Salt, Vetiver, and Cardamom. Tom Daxon's Laconia carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A bright, zesty, and utterly fleeting citrus burst that promises sunshine but fades faster than a summer tan. It's a delightful mood-lifter, but don't expect it to stick around for the after-party.

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.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Laconia opens with an exhilarating splash of zesty bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, instantly invoking a vibrant Mediterranean morning. This effervescent citrus quickly makes way for a subtle green heart of violet leaf and a whisper of mint. The dry down, though elusive, hints at an earthy vetiver and a curious fresh spice from cardamom, with a unique saline touch that evokes a distant sea breeze. However, it largely vanishes before these deeper notes can truly unfurl.
