Arran Aromatics and Laurel — a combination worth experiencing. A unisex fragrance rooted in the fern and citrus families. Perfumer Pierre Wargnye is the author behind this composition. Available as eau de toilette.
Produced in the United Kingdom, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Laurel unfolds as a layered story, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Arran Aromatics is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a glittering citrus mood: Bergamot, Laurel and Orange. Here 3 notes act as one voice, creating sunny vitality that reads as cohesive from the start.
The middle and base stages are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus and Spicy without random overlap. The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Citrus, Spicy and Wood. At family level the composition sits in Citrus and Fern.
In summary Laurel reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
