I’m in on the secret—this perfume brand is why the most stylish women in London have such an expensive scent.

      While the finest French perfumers are celebrated for encapsulating the effortless elegance of Paris and American fragrance brands are recognized for embodying the chic spirit of New York City, I believe that British perfumery truly offers the best of both worlds, enriched with a touch of luxury. Blending London’s playful and slightly disheveled essence with a desire for sophisticated scents, British fragrance brands deserve a prominent spot on your vanity—and I don’t say that just because I live in the UK.

      I'm sure many of the well-known names are already familiar to you—like Jo Malone, Penhaligon’s, and the more niche perfumery of Miller Harris. However, let me introduce you to another brand that has been making an impact in the fragrance scene since its debut in 2023 with a carefully curated selection of intriguing scents. Established by the London-based retailer Liberty London, LBTY utilizes the talents of renowned perfumers, inviting them to reimagine classic notes through a distinctive London lens.

      **How Many LBTY Perfumes Are There?**

      The LBTY fragrance line currently features nine perfumes (with more anticipated), each inspired by one of the iconic Liberty fabrics. Because of this, many of the fragrances are truly one of a kind; while they draw on global perfumery knowledge, each scent is imbued with the history and legacy of this famous London landmark.

      What better way to illustrate this than to provide a closer look at each of the eight scents and the fabrics that inspired them? Here’s my straightforward review of every LBTY perfume, ranked by a beauty editor…

      **The Best LBTY Perfumes, Ranked by a Beauty Editor**

      1. **LBTY Tana Meadow Eau de Parfum**

       **Key notes:** Cypress, pear, jasmine, coconut, rose, vanilla, praline, musk

       Tana Meadow is my top pick from LBTY. This creamy floral scent is both light and elegant. It opens with notes of jasmine and white orchid, complemented by hints of coconut and vanilla, creating a soft fragrance that feels comforting without being overly sweet or milky. It's suitable for the office without overwhelming those nearby while still being noteworthy enough to receive compliments. Liberty describes it as a memory of lazy summer days, and I agree; instead of being a typical summer scent, it evokes the essence of relaxed days, allowing it to be worn year-round.

      2. **LBTY Ianthe Oud Eau de Parfum**

       **Key notes:** Mimosa, bergamot, violet, cedarwood, guaiac wood, leather

       Despite its name, Ianthe Oud is not a heavy oud fragrance. Familiarity with the best leather scents often reveals that the smoky note pairs with rich and dark elements, but Ianthe Oud stands apart. It's bright and airy, mixing creamy leather notes with zesty bergamot and mimosa. A subtle touch of powdery violet adds a soft, almost nostalgic quality. It conjures an image of a luxurious dressing room with a window ajar on a sunny spring day—delicate and inviting.

      3. **LBTY Adelphi Sun Eau de Parfum**

       **Key notes:** Grapefruit, cardamom, golden fern, jasmine, sandalwood, ambrox

       Inspired by the lively atmosphere of a sun-soaked greenhouse, Adelphi Sun is a unique solar scent. It artfully marries gentle florals with zesty grapefruit and fresh green notes, resulting in a fragrance that is both lush and grounding. Initially, as someone who typically avoids overly green or citrusy scents, I didn't anticipate liking this one; however, after wearing it for a few weeks, I'm sold. While it's fresh and juicy, there's also an underlying warmth that makes it perfect for laid-back days.

      4. **LBTY Vine Thief Eau de Parfum**

       **Key notes:** Strawberry liquor, orris, labdanum, vanilla, condensed milk

       As a professional scent analyst, I rarely encounter a fragrance that I would label as truly unique, but LBTY’s Vine Thief certainly qualifies. Sweet like a strawberry milkshake yet powdery due to orris root and labdanum notes, this scent harmoniously blends two worlds into what I’d call a sophisticated gourmand fragrance. If you’re not into sweet scents, you might want to skip this one, but if you enjoy a delightful twist, Vine Thief could be for you.

      5. **LBTY Tudor Eau de Parfum**

       **Key notes:** Juniper, ginger, cypress, chamomile, sandalwood, iris, amber

       LBTY’s Tudor is inspired by the iconic Liberty building and encapsulates both its architecture and the essence within. The result is a nuanced fragrance, rich in spicy woody notes like nutmeg and sandalwood, coupled with herbal greens and resinous amber. It delivers a
