Wow. Super nice floral that has grown on me the more I wear it. The floral’s are not overbearing. Has a barbershop vibe to it as well. Limited longevity (4 hours) and projection (2 hours). Safe for office wear and is unisex for sure due to the floral’s. Try before you buy just to make sure you really are into this type of juice. Enjoy!

My first encounter with Atkinsons was about two years ago.
I was at a department store and tried a number of their perfumes. They didn’t leave much of an impression on me at that time. Maybe because I knew nothing of the brand and obviously, the price is pretty high.
Two weeks ago I came across 24 Old Bond Street. I was feeling the name. Number 24, and Old Bond Street.
So I googled the map and voila, that’s the building I love. I remember strolling around Mayfair at one Christmas time and there was this building that caught my eye. I stopped at the intersection, observing and adoring the details in awe. It was the most beautiful building/store in the area, occupied by Salvatore Ferragamo. Apparently, that building was originally owned by The Atkinsons.
I immediately knew I was going to love 24 Old Bond Street.
Upon learning that Atkinsons is the oldest British perfumery house, my respect and admiration for the brand grew in a matter of minutes. I got myself a bottle of 24 Old Bond Street in no time and love it.
Maybe it is the power of the story, the suggestion, but 24 Old Bond Street is a great cologne. It is crisp, fresh, classy. The black tea and whiskey are prominent. Projection is perfectly moderate, as loud is never classy. Longevity could be better but given that it is a cologne, it is still acceptable.
Having said that, I am certainly going to give my Atkinsons a second try.

I liked it pretty much. It’s kind of a calming scent, like an old friend (or a sugar daddy) you can always depend on. I’ve tried it on my skin in a Douglas shop, the longevity is around 4-5 hours. Most probably my next purchase.
UPDATE (2016-07-15): I bought it yesterday. This morning (around 8) I applied it generously, which led to a stronger projection than expected. It projects like 2x stronger than Versace pour Homme, although it is marketed just as EDC. I was followed by a massive scent cloud till 14:00. Now it’s 17:00 and I can still feel the Whiskey sometimes, which is currently the strongest component (next to juniper).

A real gentleman’s fragrance

A clean, crisp cologne which instantly puts you in mind of cool crisp cotton shirts and freshly washed hair. Slightly soapy on the dry down, there’s something in there (the juniper?) which reminds of Matey bath bubbles, but that could just be me,
Not unpleasant at all though. As it dries down the tea begins to come through, balanced with the juniper and maybe a hint of whiskey. Only a hint though.
Although it is a unisex scent, I think it is very masculine, and whilst very pleasant, it’s a two note wonder (juniper and tea) to me, I’d rather go for Penhaligon’s Quercus or Juniper Sling.

this was my first introduction to the line and it didn’t live up to its note break down
its just to green and projection wasn’t on point
i was really hoping to get more of that whiskey vibe but unfortunately its way to hidden in the background for my nose to pick up but i did pick up a nice rose scent one thats very pure and not your typical rose
if i had to compare this to another scent id say its very similar to byredo – green and Diptyque – L’Ombre Dans L’Eau
all and all its a safe scent to wear since its not to loud and in your face
office worthy
on to the next

Have enjoyed my sample of this sheer, clean cologne. Despite it being marketed as a predominantly male scent I think it’s decidedly unisex. The tea note is well done and not at all overpowering – the effect is citrussy, fresh and light. That said, I’m not sure if the sillage / longevity warrants the price tag.
каркас – :
Pleasant, but way too timid to make much of an impression. I think the black tea note is the most prominent. Sort of a “Why bother?” scent. It barely registers.

When I first tried this in Barneys I had to have a sample! I thought it smelled great. However after I wore it on my wrist it dried down into a watery, boozy, rose mess that just didn’t smell good on me at all!! For the price it was not impressive in the least bit. Too bad, I really thought it would be a good one.
Gartmeele – :
“Fashion Decree” is my favourite scent of this brand.
While there are certain elements of this creation are arguably nice (in particular the oak-barrell whiskey note) all in all it is far too weak for me.
But I will say that this is the perfect gift for an outdoorsy kinda guy like Ben Fogle perhaps or an Alan Titchmarsh for it has this natural beauty and/ or natural relaxedness about it.
Fashion forward or game-changing it most certainly ain’t. But that is ok.
Very MOR (middle of road) and classicly refined. For someone who wants to smell naturally good without all the fuss of trying too hard to make an impression (with scent).
6/10
DeVal – :
Very weak, 20 min later I can hardly smell it any more. At this price point its a bad joke! Smells ok for the first 10 min, 20 min later I cant remember it any more.

Amazing fresh luxurious scent that projects and last a good 6-8 hours for a fresh scent. Its citrus note is combine with a powdery note that gives it a very nice confutable aura to this fragrance.

It is very exciting to discover that the famous and venerated old British perfumery of Atkinsons founded in 1799 is reborn in a re-launch of the house this year. The line has just arrived at Barney’s NY in San Francisco and I was amazed by the beauty of each and every one of the five fragrances in the line. They are as follows, (The Legendary Collection) The Odd Fellows Bouquet, The Nuptial Bouquet, The British Bouquet, Fashion Decree Woman, and from the Emblematic Collection, 24 Old Bond Street.
24 Old Bond Street is a gorgeous Oriental, smart, and captivating fragrance. Sartorial beauty and elegance are the order of the day with this masculine Eau de Cologne. It opens with a bracing, invigorating blast of Gin like Juniper that sinks swiftly into a mellow tea note. Here we are reminded of the British Raj and a time when the colonial empire turned under an ever shining British sun. This tea spiced with juniper melts into a lovely subtle English rose bringing a touch of Tudor spring to the elixir. With the tea at the fore and the rose and juniper at the aft we stay here for a comforting while until from below comes a lovely boozy whisky. This is a fine whisky note aged in old English oak barrels, to a rich smoky beauty. Whisky and cigars in a Mayfair gentleman’s club is the final scene we are left with in the dry down.
The entire life of the cologne is brief but glorious. It is after all an Eau de Cologne in the old style and one should not expect a wild bear of a fragrance. This bear is a gentleman not a beast. The sillage is moderate and I in fact like it that way. 24 Old Bond Street is a ideal after bath or shower cologne that will add a perfectly executed beginning to any gentleman’s (or ladies) toilet. It also comes in a Bath and Shower Essence, a body lotion, soap and scented candle. It is a personal and up-close eau de cologne that inspires confidence and maybe a bit of romance as well.
So if you are in the mind to “Brave the Bear” do visit Atkinsons 1799 and explore this marvelous historical house re-borne.
24 OLD BOND STREET ~ 5 Gold Stars *****

This was a pleasant surprise for me. It’s a perfect combination of classic and quirky British fragrance. Faintly reminiscent of Penhaligon’s or Floris, but with a bit of an edge. Still elegantly familiar, but just to the left of classic. I have enjoyed wearing this for the past few days, and will add it to my rotation.
