Leitmotiv

Explore 6 Leitmotiv fragrances — notes, longevity, sillage and community ratings, matched to how you want to smell.

No 12 Figuier Moderne sits at the centre of a range built on woody, citrus and sweet accords. Jasmine, bergamot, cedar and fig appear throughout the catalogue, giving the compositions a consistent material base. Aromatic, earthy and fresh spicy facets turn up alongside the core structure, adding contrast to the bright and resinous elements already present.

The house works with a compact selection of scent profiles that repeat across its releases. The interplay between the sharpness of citrus and the depth of cedar defines the overall character, while the inclusion of fig and jasmine softens the edges. Each fragrance draws from this shared pool of accords and materials, resulting in a cohesive collection where individual entries vary the balance of these familiar components.
