Very tart opening of citrus and acidic green notes. Stays fizzing and acidic for a surprisingly long time, and the same effect sticks to clothes, as I’ve dabbed it on my chest and back and neck.
Good, in the way that it does provide freshness for a good 5h, staying very linear so I suppose if you don’t expect anything more it works very well. Fresh and masculine, as simple as that.
Having said that it’s simple, if I wanted depth I would layer this with something equally simple and linear like D.R. Harris’ Marlborough, that’s a wood only cologne. Two simple ones might create a more interesting combo w/o going too complex. As I own both I’ve tried it a couple times and at least it’s not weird. And with layering you can always play with the measures.
Haha, smelling this from the bottle has so much that reminds me of 4711 Original Eau de Cologne (also have). Less flowers, much more acidity on the skin though…

Follow up review after I picked up another fragrance deadly close to this. Compare this to Tom Ford Neroli Portofino! Dead ringer. I find NP smells a bit better but Arlington lasts longer. Both are great light citrus fern scents. Arlington is a better deal IMO but I’ll keep both in the collection.

I found this to be a great fragrance. I have caught myself so often trying to catch a sniff of it mid-day just to find my happy place. Scent profile is right, opens with a lemon drop-like scent of citrus and dries down to a very light fern profile. It’s a great light scent but if you want to stand out more than skin close, it’s worth going to something heavier.
I still have never come across anything similar to it so I’ll keep buying Arlington.

It’s a VERY LIGHT lemon candy scent that morphs into an even lighter green scent. There’s nothing really to dislike but it’s so very light why even bother…

I wanted a classic English fragrance to add to my collection. I was shocked when I put this on. I smelled like a tooty-fruity lemon drop. Fortunately, it settles down. It is a very pleasant scent that stays close, but lasts all day. Not a bold or complex choice, but it performs its role just fine.
Update: I have found that it disappears very quickly, perhaps that is the result of wearing it in cooler weather.

A light citrus and fern aroma with a bit of “musk like” finish you will enjoy without doubt. A classy scent suited for any occasion!

I know the words “gentleman” and “aristocratic” and “classic” are thrown around to describe Arlington. Perhaps it is all those things. But have you ever been to a florist? I spent time in a florist quite often as a boy because my mom worked in one. I remember the smell vividly. That’s what Arlington smells like, as if you squeezed an orange on top of a flower arrangement. Flowers, greenery, and an orangey background. Some guys might love the sound of that…but it’s definitely not my thing.

This is a classic men’s fragrance. The opening is energizing, but it dries down to a soft fragrance. That wears close to the skin, but is not weak. The sent lasts most of the day. Very appropriate for work. This sent is for those of us over thirty (or if you are looking for a mature confident fragrance). It is a great finishing touch to a mornings shave.
