Yardley London 1770 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. 1770 opens with Citrus, Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Woody Notes, and Floral Notes, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Yardley London's 1770 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This could've been a brilliant spicy-woody scent, but its abysmal performance means it's destined for the forgotten shelf. A real shame.

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:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its extremely poor longevity and sillage, this scent can only realistically be worn for short, close-contact occasions. It might just last for a quick office meeting or an intimate casual setting, but certainly not a full day or a lively social event.

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

  • 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

1770 opens with a bracing kick of black pepper and ginger, brightened by a hint of citrus. This quickly settles into a rich, earthy heart where dark cacao blends with subtle floral and woody notes. The dry down is a classic and sophisticated affair, with deep vetiver, earthy patchouli, and moss, all wrapped in a soft musk. It's a scent that whispers instead of shouts.
