Yardley London Lilac Amethyst is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018. Lilac Amethyst opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Pear, and Basil, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Pepper, Fig, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Spicy Notes, and Amber. Yardley London's Lilac Amethyst carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a curveball. Despite the name, don't expect a typical floral. It skews surprisingly masculine with its prominent spice and wood notes, which might just catch you off guard if you're blind buying.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Opening with a zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, a subtle hint of juicy pear soon emerges. The heart introduces a unique blend with the green sweetness of fig, a whisper of peach, and a lively kick of pepper, given a creamy depth by heliotrope. It settles into a warm, inviting base of rich woods and spicy amber, leaving a lasting impression that's more robust than delicate.
