Yardley London Legacy Honour is an Eau de Parfum. Legacy Honour opens with Cardamom and Mint, settles into a heart of Lavender, Thyme, and Tarragon, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Yardley London's Legacy Honour carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

If you're after a budget-friendly all-rounder that's a dead ringer for Penhaligon's Sartorial, this is it. It's a classy, understated British fougere that punches well above its weight for the price.

Scent Profile

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.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Legacy Honour opens with a brisk, cool hit of mint and spicy cardamom, quickly settling into a sophisticated aromatic heart. Lavender and thyme lend a classic, clean barbershop feel, with a subtle herbal lift from tarragon. The dry-down is smooth and grounding, with earthy patchouli and oakmoss blending seamlessly with cedar, all softened by a creamy sweetness from tonka bean.
