The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Lignum Vitae by BeauFort London is a fragrance that captures the essence of exploration and maritime adventure. The composition opens with bright citron and lime, punctuated by spicy ginger and black pepper, creating an invigorating freshness reminiscent of sea air. As it develops, sweet notes of caramel and biscuit mingle with woody undertones of guaiac wood and agarwood (oud), grounding the scent in a complex depth that evokes the richness of trade routes and distant shores.
Apply this fragrance to your pulse points for a rich experience that evolves over time. The initial citrus-spicy notes are vivid but fade within an hour, so allow it to settle into its deeper, warmer accords for best effect. It pairs well with the warmth of indoor spaces and cooler evenings.
