Wisteria will be the next addition to Crabtree & Evelyn's Floral Fragrance Collection, which already includes the soliflores Iris, Lily, Rosewater and Lavender. As was the case with the others, Wisteria has been reworked from an existing Crabtree & Evelyn fragrance.
Wisteria, the latest of Crabtree and Evelyn’s much-loved floral fragrances, captures the scent of the blue blossoms that have been growing in English gardens for more than two centuries. The flowered wisteria vines that once adorned the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens in London now spread across the English countryside, draping over stonewalls and scaling the sides of old cottages.
Crabtree & Evelyn Wisteria will be available in April, in 30 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

Wisteria? Can someone else tell me some other perfumes that contain wisteria so I can think whether I like the note?
It’s in lots of fragrances, including the new-ish Love, Chloe, but trying to think of fragrances in which it is noticeable (yet not a soliflore) and all I can think of at the moment is Diptyque Olene. There must be others.
Great! I’ll have to give Olene a try.
I have been looking for fragrances that have a wisteria note. I love wisteria for its colour and scent and it is such a quintessentially Japanese flower to me. I hope this one captures it well.
They do already make a Wisteria scent (and it’s still in stock on their website) — doubt this is much changed from that, but I haven’t tried it so not much help.
Yes, I didn’t like the old one. Then again, I’m not too keen on C&E’s fragrance creations, except soaps and lotions.
Ohhhh, that bottle is beautiful! Even more beautiful than the Iris bottle.
I have and like the iris, and I wouldn’t really say that one’s a soliflore. There’s lots of very noticeable vetiver and bergamot. Unless I maybe don’t really understand what a soliflore is?
There’s a fair amount of wisteria in Eclat d’Arpege and Versace Signature, I think.
A soliflore doesn’t mean there aren’t other notes, or that you can’t smell other notes — just meant to be a “portrait” of a single flower.
Oh, and agree about the bottle!
Their original Wisteria used to be a favorite of mine. It is a clean, fresh floral. I hope this one is as good; I worry about reformulations. The bottle is a definite improvement though.
I might get some for my mom or sister…here in So Cal (Sierra Madre, to be precise) we have the Wisteria Festival every spring…and there’s a nice restaurant in Sierra Madre called Wistaria. They spell it with an “a” – I’m told it can be spelled either way!
