Leland Francis offers clean Eau De Parfum, and the brand’s FRANKLIN fragrance is absolutely extraordinary. Formulated without phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde or any synthetic dyes, Leland Francis Franklin Eau de Parfum is a heady melange of natural oils and extracts, crafted with organic sugarcane alcohol, and the result is stunning.
Green, herby, floral, and completely unique, it’s almost difficult to aptly describe this fragrance because it’s so thoroughly original. I have never come across anything even remotely similar, which is intriguing. I keep smelling my wrist for another whiff. I can’t determine if it’s feminine or masculine because it’s both in very the best way – part aromatic humidor, part flower show, part sauna, part sweet herb forest, and part something other-worldly. It’s sophisticated and strong without being overwhelming or annoying (as some bold fragrances can be in small spaces).
Here are the fragrance notes for FRANKLIN:
Top Notes: Black pepper, bergamot
Middle Notes: Clary sage, violet, African marigold
Base Notes: Sandalwood, tobacco, vetiver
I absolutely adore this fragrance! It’s completely devoid of chem-trails or lingering artifice. In fact, it’s the type of luxurious fragrance you will want to lean into – and can imagine a perfumer wearing. Delightfully vegan and cruelty-free, it’s definitely one of my favorites now.
Price: $115 / 30ml 1fl oz
