Spice of London

Inspiration

London is a city of remarkable contrasts, where centuries of tradition meet contemporary creativity. Historic gentlemen's clubs stand alongside modern cocktail bars, while royal heritage effortlessly blends with vibrant urban culture. Spice of London captures this unmistakable British spirit, drawing inspiration from the capital's iconic gin culture, elegant sophistication and cosmopolitan energy. Refined yet daring, it is a fragrance that celebrates London's unique ability to reinvent itself while remaining unmistakably timeless.

The fragrance opens with the aromatic freshness of juniper berry oil, black pepper oil and cypress oil. The vibrant juniper immediately evokes the crisp character of a perfectly crafted gin and tonic, while black pepper adds an energetic spicy kick. Cypress introduces elegant green woody nuances that create a refined and distinctive opening full of confidence and vitality.

At the heart, incense oil and elemi resin reveal a rich aromatic warmth. The resinous character of incense is balanced by the fresh citrus facets of elemi, creating a sophisticated contrast that feels both mysterious and modern. Together they add remarkable depth while preserving the fragrance's elegant aromatic signature.

The fragrance settles into a distinguished base of vetiver oil and cedarwood. Vetiver contributes its dry, earthy refinement, while cedarwood provides smooth woody structure and lasting sophistication. Created by Annick Ménardo, Spice of London perfectly embodies contemporary British elegance through a composition that is confident, refined and effortlessly stylish.
