Lace

by Dominique Ropion

Yardley London Lace is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1982, created by Dominique Ropion. Lace opens with Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss. Yardley London's Lace carries an Acquired verdict, a aldehydic-led wear.

Don't be a snob - Yardley Lace, especially a vintage bottle, is a hidden gem from a master perfumer. An absolute steal that punches well above its weight, delivering classic feminine charm. The recent reformulations? Best avoided, stick to the real deal.

Its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, particularly in the EDP and vintage formulations, mean it's best applied lightly for the office, but it shines in more formal or special date settings. The sophisticated floral-mossy profile makes it versatile for a range of dressier occasions, with many reviewers noting its 'day to night' potential.

About

Lace opens with a rush of sparkling aldehydes, delivering a clean, almost soapy freshness that's instantly captivating. This bright introduction gives way to a lush, powdery rose, rich and elegant without being overly sweet. The base settles into a sophisticated oakmoss, adding a deep, earthy greenness and a touch of melancholy that grounds the floral heart in a timeless, classic chypre structure. It's a scent that evokes a beautifully dressed woman, composed and quietly confident.
