Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Lautus, launched by Navitus Parfums in 2020 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, is a composition that balances bright citrus and aromatic freshness with warm woody notes. The fragrance opens with yuzu and lemon verbena, creating an invigorating and crisp top note. As it evolves, lavender and freesia add a soft floral dimension, while cascarilla and juniper berries introduce a subtle spiciness. The base of palisander rosewood, sandalwood, patchouli, ambergris, and musk grounds the scent with earthy warmth.
Apply Lautus with one or two sprays — the citrus opening is bright and immediate but fades within an hour. The earthy base notes emerge gradually and last for hours, so it’s best to let them develop naturally rather than layering heavily.

Bertrand Duchaufour
The world traveler's noseBertrand Duchaufour is a perfumer-adventurer whose creations read like a travelogue of the senses. Trained at Roure (now Givaudan), his work draws deeply from his journeys through Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa.
“The art of perfumery must be at the same time, innovative, harmonius, and “sent bon”.”
