Laboratory Perfumes Gorse Eau de Toilette, 100ml at John Lewis & Partners

A clean and zesty lemon note with a whisper of coconut and a hint of cardamom, this elegant scent takes you to gorse-lined paths in the south of France.

Laboratory Perfumes’ second scent, Gorse, owes its existence to a Provençal driveway banked with gorse.

Captivated by the heady air surrounding the yellow flowers of the gorse bushes, we set about creating a scent that captured the sultry essence of summer in the Luberon. Opening with invigorating top notes of citrus, and of course, the charming coconut hint of the gorse flower, the scent is given an exotic base by the suggestion of cardamom.

\"Gorse is an olfactory snapshot of a summer evening on seaside moorland covered in heather, and it's achieved with a mix of citrus and spicy notes.\" Daily Telegraph Fashion.
