Yardley London Rhodium is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Rhodium opens with Bergamot, Galbanum, Apple, and Rain, settles into a heart of Rose, Lavender, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Oakmoss. Yardley London's Rhodium carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive cheapie, mimicking a mass appeal scent but falling short on actual performance and quality. Some call it an affordable Fierce dupe; others find it a thin, forgettable disappointment.

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 Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Given its weak performance and fresh, generic character, Rhodium is best suited for casual wear or sports. Its subtle nature means it wouldn't offend in an office but lacks the presence for dates or formal events.

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.

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

Rhodium starts with a fresh, slightly generic hit of apple and bergamot, quickly softening into a clean aquatic blend with hints of earthy oakmoss and soft, herbal lavender. A whisper of coriander and amber tries to add depth, but largely, it's a watery, airy experience with a touch of rose and galbanum providing a green, slightly spicy undertone.
