Fragrance notes

Notes
Our take

Lapis presents a dense blend of rose, patchouli, oud, sandalwood, heliotrope, and almond. The woody and powdery accords sit forward, supported by warm spicy and balsamic tones. Vanilla and floral facets soften the sharper edges without making the composition sweet. The rose is present but restrained, allowing the resinous woods and earthy patchouli to lead. Heliotrope and almond add a smooth, slightly creamy texture that rounds out the sharper resinous notes.

The fragrance feels substantial and polished, leaning into its oriental floral character with confidence. It suits cooler weather and evening settings, where the heavier woods and spices feel appropriate. The balance stays on the warmer side of powdery, with the oud and sandalwood giving it a grounded, slightly formal presence. It reads as a composed scent rather than a playful one, and the vanilla here supports the balsamic depth instead of pushing the blend toward a dessert profile.

Lapis is a steady, full composition that carries its many accords without clutter. The woods and resins stay prominent while the floral and powdery elements keep the edges smooth. It is a fragrance that wraps around the wearer like a heavy wool coat lined with velvet.
