The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, London Spice by Fragrance Du Bois is crafted by Francois Merle-Baudoin and offers an aromatic journey that balances freshness with warmth. The composition opens with peppermint and citrus notes, creating a bright and invigorating start. This freshness gives way to the heart of white flowers and lavender, adding a delicate floral dimension. As it settles into its base, warm spices like nutmeg and cardamom mix with woody accords such as cedar and patchouli, grounding the fragrance in earthy depth.
London Spice is best applied in light layers — its citrus and peppermint top notes are vibrant but fleeting. The base notes develop over time, so a few sprays will ensure that you experience both the initial freshness and the lingering warmth throughout the day.
