Yardley London Iris and Lavender is an Eau de Toilette. Iris and Lavender opens with Citrus and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Iris, Lavender, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Sandalwood. Yardley London's Iris and Lavender carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is definitely an acquired taste, and the polarizing reviews say it all. Expect a clean, almost sterile vibe that some find reassuring, others utterly devoid of warmth. It's a proper British Yardley, so you know what you're getting yourself into.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

Its iris, yellow floral and lavender composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Sport
Also Works:
Casual

Its clean and subtle nature makes it a safe bet for the office or casual daytime wear where you don't want to make a big statement. The distinct lack of sensuality mentioned by a reviewer suggests it won't shine on a date or formal evening out, but could pass for a post-workout refresh.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Opens with a peppy citrus and pink pepper, giving a bright, almost sharp, initial hit. The heart quickly moves into a floral blend of powdery iris and soothing lavender, undercut by the lush creaminess of ylang-ylang. The base tries to anchor it with hints of leather, warm amber, and earthy sandalwood, but the overall impression remains distinctly clean, leaning towards sterile, with a powdery, woody finish.
