    The sweet scent of animal crackers and shortbread. Tasty! But I don’t want to wear it.

    One thing that is not so simple to do when thinking about perfumery in a commercial way is the junction of the niche / artistic with the most popular. Not always what in theory seems interesting works and being able to combine innovation with familiarity and flawless execution is a feat. The British niche brand Beaufort London does this with Lignum Vitae.
    Inspired by the wood of South American origin used by British watchmakers in the 18th century to build the first accurate marine chronometers, Lignum Vitae can indeed combine elements of wood, salt and metal to create something familiar and innovative. It is not always that you see a hybrid of a woody, aquatic scent and salty gourmand.
    How is this possible? With the choice of a unique material in the perfumery that dosed correctly is able to pass these facets. In my saga of creating my personal coffee perfume I bought a synthetic material that is sold as gourmand but goes much further: Levistamel. Concentrated, it is a material that smells sweet and roasted at the same time as it is metallic, reminding me of the smell of metals that my uncle soldered when repairing computer boards.
    Lignum Vitae makes an innovative use of this material, dosing it at a point where both the gourmand and metallic aspects are suggested, creating an exotic initial aura. It is sustained by a bright, slightly salty aquatic scent that has citrus and aromatic nuances – something along the lines of an exotic acqua di gio. As it evolves, a woody, warm, creamy scent develops on the skin along with a secondary nuance of musk. Everything is well structured here, it is interesting how each element fits and how the whole is familiar and different at the same time. Certainly a triumph of creativity and execution of the brand and its perfumer.

    Scent – salted biscuits & tea.
    Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the colder months, day or night.
    Projection – I didn’t get noticed, I didn’t get a compliment.
    Longevity – I get 8hrs consistently.

    Smells exactly like salty biscuits with milk. I can’t stand food notes in perfume, so this was the only Beaufort I didn’t like, but it might be a pleasant discovery for someone looking for a no-tooth-achingly-sweeet gourmand.

    Hell no to the “biscuit note”. Mixed with salty marine notes and synthetic woods, it smells like the kind of gross, mealy spittle that babies leave around the house when you set them free to roam with a cookie.

    Purchased from Bloom in London, this perfume is gorgeous. I find it to be deliciously mysterious with my much loved notes of pepper, lime, ginger and oud. While it won’t appeal to the masses, it proves appealing to me…masculine and feminine, dark and light, sharp and smonth, Lignum Vitae is a must smell to believe.
    Yum!

    On paper it’s pretty much a bitter lime. I don’t like. On skin it’s much more interesting, sweeter and warmer, more complex but I don’t really like it enough to even “like” it here even though I don’t dislike it. Oh, it’s got a bit of the “Lush bathbomb accord” whatever the base they use is.

    The notes and the idea seemed wonderful, but the reality of testing it on skin made me switch from ‘want it’ to ‘don’t like it’.
    What made me want it blind was the biscuit note and the contrast between gourmand and the savory/marine/woody/mineral notes. I was almost certain that I finally stumbled upon something special – unconventional gourmand from THE unconventional niche house (Beaufort). But no.
    In short – the biscuit made the appearance at the top notes; to me it came closer to rice pudding cooked in Chinese restaurant than to biscuit (French pastry) – afterwards the lime takes over the composition reducing the gourmand character to minimum until pretty soon ALL I could smell was this huge aquatic lime, not so much marine as generic, quite sharp and aggresive. In all honesty, not much going on here and not much better-smelling than a no-name aquatic something from drugstore men’s department. Too bad actually because the concept is great and with more effort this could be far better – a balanced, finished product/fragrance.

    This is a massive improvement over the earlier Beaufort fragrances (which I believe may have been discontinued?). Those were utterly unwearable and unpleasant to be around. Lignum Vitae shows that they’ve gone away, perfected their skills, and are now ready to be heavy hitters. This is a beautiful, unisex ginger biscuit made interesting with salty notes. The ginger is warm, spicy, and very realistic, but there’s also a pleasant milkiness. I can’t believe this is from the same company that created those fragrances that made me want to run and hide originally! Well done – credit where it’s due!

    Easily the most accessible of the Beaufort London line, having tested all four. The two that got me were 1805 Tonnerre, and this, both with prominent lime aspects.
    Lime can be deathly dull, but when it works it rocks, Tonnerre uses lime completely differently to this, amidst smoke, gunpowder, blood, etc, it’s a lime for the night! I said that in a metal voice hence the exclamation mark.
    Lignum Vitae is a day lime, a lime shortbread, forget about everything else, this walks like a zesty lime/citrus shortbread biscuit, not too heavy or sweet, but decent sillage and longevity, an uplifting spring unto the shore after enduring a stormy Tonnerre night aboard the galleon, and all that jazz.
    Gourmand, fool! Unisex, love it, or die alone, pleasing.
    Oh yeah, you definitely get the ginger as part of the mix, it sits in there perfectly.

    Very well balanced compared to their other fragrances (This one is not smoky or leathery).
    The gourmand and aquatic facets are here but in a very clever way.
