Yardley London Yardley Gentleman Urbane is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Yardley Gentleman Urbane opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Thyme, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Yardley London's Yardley Gentleman Urbane carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A fresh, green, and soapy scent that punches above its weight for the price, though you'll need to be quick - its staying power is undeniably weak. It's a decent, no-frills everyday option, but don't expect a dupe for high-end classics.

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
Also Works:
Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Given its fresh, clean, and soapy character, this fragrance excels in casual and post-sport scenarios. Its poor longevity makes it suitable for shorter outings like office wear or quick errands, but it lacks the depth and projection for formal events or evening dates.

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.

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

Yardley Gentleman Urbane opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly softened by a clean, aromatic lavender. The heart unfolds into a distinctly green and herbal mix, a fresh, almost shaving foam-like quality from the artemisia and thyme. As it settles, a soft musk and earthy patchouli provide a subtle, warm base, grounding the vibrant, fresh accords with a touch of masculinity.
