Yardley London Yardley 250 For Him is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Christian Provenzano. Yardley 250 For Him opens with Bergamot, Cypress, Lavender, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Allspice, Geranium, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Yardley London's Yardley 250 For Him carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper punch to the senses - a divisive fragrance that hardcore fans embrace as a unique aromatic powerhouse, but critics might find utterly repellent. It's either a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with no middle ground.

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
Also Works:
Fall

Its aromatic, woody and fresh spicy composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Given its strong and potentially overwhelming character, this isn't one for the office where subtlety is key. It's better suited for casual outings or a confident date night, though its divisive nature means it's not a safe bet for formal events.

About

Yardley 250 For Him hits hard with a bold aromatic opening, where zesty bergamot slices through a rich, herbal lavender and dark blackcurrant. As it settles, the heart reveals a spicy warmth from pimiento and juniper, adding a surprising kick. The base grounds the experience with earthy vetiver and patchouli, fused with dry cedar, creating a woody, subtly warm finish that’s anything but subtle.
