Yardley London Ink is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. Ink opens with Bergamot, Pepper, Rosemary, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes and Plum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Vetiver. Yardley London's Ink carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Yardley Ink is a budget woody oriental with a genuinely promising note list, spiced plum over amber and leather, that community reviewers feel does not quite deliver on its ambition. It is inoffensive rather than distinctive, but affordable enough to be worth trying.

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.

About

Inspired by Japanese calligraphic art, Yardley Ink was launched in 2015 as a woody oriental for men. It opens with an aromatic, citrus-tinged blend of bergamot, rosemary, wormwood and black pepper, moving into a spiced heart with a touch of plum, before settling into a warm base of amber, leather and vetiver. Reviewers note the drydown leans towards a sweet, slightly rough plum-brandy character.
