Yardley London Baroque is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996, created by Ann Gottlieb. Baroque opens with Orange, Mandarin, Freesia, and Lilac, settles into a heart of Stephanotis, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Yardley London's Baroque carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A divisive Nineties throwback that some adore for its fruity-floral amber warmth, while others find it a bit too 'mature'. It’s an elegant, easy-going scent for those who appreciate a touch of vintage charm.

About

Baroque opens with a bright burst of juicy apricot and mandarin, quickly softening into a heart of creamy stephanotis and sweet jasmine. The dry down is a comforting embrace of warm amber, smooth sandalwood, and a hint of soft musk, creating a full-bodied yet gentle white floral experience with a distinct fruity undertone.
