London – Extrait de Parfum

Widian – niche perfumery from Abu Dhabi, with bottles shaped by Arabian architecture.

London is leathery, fruity and elegantly smoky. Oud, violet and fresh cypress open, juicy, almost jammy raspberry meets lily of the valley at the heart, before fine leather, vanilla, amber and musk settle into a warm, velvety base. It is inspired by Victorian London – cosmopolitan, with a touch of the Orient.

London is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening. A unisex scent for special occasions, dinners and as a distinctive signature scent.

What makes London special to us: the raspberry in the leather. It sounds unlikely and works beautifully – the fruit makes the leather soft and playful, the oud gives it gravitas. Elegant as a tailored suit, with a wink.
