Labdanum Dusk is an oriental woody fragrance that launched in 2021. Created by Nathalie Koobus, it features top notes of cedar needles and saffron; middle notes of cedar, leather and nagarmotha; and base notes of labdanum, agarwood (oud), vanilla, patchouli and tonka bean. A treasurable opulent-woody scent with a majestic foliage of contemporary cedar leaves at the top and rich spirals of patchouli in the heart. A signature note of rare oudh forms an exquisite union with labdanum in the base, deepening the scent trail and creating an undeniable aura – for lovers of five-star decadence. The darkest dusk, punctuated with glints of gold from vaulted Arabesque arches. A richly perfumed mirage of labdanum, cypriol and oud headily spirals upwards in mosaic majesty. Wreathes of verdant cedar leaves unfurl; embedded by precious saffron and deep patchouli draped in sublime vanilla. Labdanum Dusk is an eau de parfum, edp.
MOLTON BROWN LABDANUM DUSK REVIEWS
Fragrantica: "I first got a 2 ml sample of this perfume. I tried it on, and the first sniff was like: "Okay. Different. Not bad. Don't think this will be a favourite, but not bad." After an hour or two I suddenly got whiffs of the drydown on my arm. "What is that smell?" Beautiful! Warm and rich. Very delightful! After a couple of days I did try the rest of the sample on my arm again. I tried it on a second time, and my second opinion was like: "Okay. Different. Not bad. Don't think this will be a favourite, but not bad." Then, again... after an hour or two... there it was again...That beautiful warm and rich drydown. I decided to buy a full bottle, even though it's rather expensive. I got my full bottle... sprayed it on my arm... and the procedure above was repeated. It's a beautiful drydown, and it's no wonder this perfume have a 4.45 rating."
Fragrantica: "This harkens back to a 70's or 80's era of men's fragrance, probably because this, to me, is so similar to Polo Green - but with a softer edge. A rather linear fragrance in terms of its evolution, its projection, and longevity are quite good. Familiar yet unique. Edit: 3 years later...I have the same feelings about this as I did before, but maybe with some maceration the leather note is far more prominent. I would love to have a FWD button on this because the opening is too harsh, the heart is good, but the drydown is the best part."
Fragrance of Aroma: "With the sun dipping below the horizon, you reach for a fragrance to capture the essence of twilight. Labdanum Dusk is a scent that promises to transport you to a realm of warmth and mystery. A mesmerizing blend of amber, black tea, and cinnamon notes that dance on your skin like whispers of a fading day. This perfume features a complex blend of labdanum, cedarwood, and patchouli notes, creating a layered scent profile that evolves throughout the day. The lasting power ensures that you will enjoy the rich, earthy aroma well into the night, without the need for frequent reapplication. An initial spritz reveals a harmonious blend of warm labdanum, spicy pink pepper, and sweet black currant. As the fragrance settles on your skin, notes of creamy sandalwood and aromatic rosemary emerge, creating a captivating olfactory experience. The interplay of these scents is like a symphony on your skin, each note complementing the next in perfect harmony. Fragrance is not just a fleeting moment with Labdanum Dusk. It is a promise of a lingering impression that stays with you long after the sun has set. The deep, resinous notes intermingle with hints of sweetness, leaving a trail of mystery and allure wherever you go."
Molton Brown: "I bought this for my husband for Christmas because he likes this type of scent. It’s lovely and lasts really well. I can still smell it at the end of the day. It’s a really unique, oriental type scent. Our 18 year old son also likes it very much, so it appeals to a wide age range."
