Vivamor Parfums Urbane is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Chris Maurice. Urbane opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Gin, Neroli, Lavender, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Vivamor Parfums's Urbane carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive freshie. Some get a bright, sophisticated gin-and-citrus cocktail; others accuse it of smelling like turpentine and petroleum. You'll either love its unique take on summer freshness or wonder what on earth everyone else is smelling.

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 fresh, energetic citrus and aromatic profile makes it excellent for casual wear or sporty outings, with multiple reviews highlighting its'hot day/warm night' appeal. While an Extrait concentration, its fresh composition prevents it from being overpowering, making it adaptable for office settings, though perhaps a bit too relaxed for very formal events.

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
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Urbane kicks off with a zesty burst of grapefruit and lemon, sharply accented by a hint of pink pepper. As it settles, a cool, botanical gin note emerges, beautifully complemented by aromatic lavender and a touch of warm cardamom. The dry down leaves a smooth trail of creamy sandalwood, soft musk, and a warm amber embrace, moving from an exhilarating gin-and-tonic twist to a gentle, refined finish.
