Green citrus, spice, dry, old-fashioned, not sweet. Pretty good.

Curzon is an absolutely gorgeous masculine scent.
Due to its age it will seem unusual in this era of fruity metrosexual bubblegum fragrances but that’s what gives it its charm.
I have the EDC splash bottle, and if applied sparingly it sits close but is noticeable, it’s the kind of cologne that will have people stating you smell good as opposed to saying that you have a nice cologne.
A younger guy wearing this at something like a job interview or wedding would stand out as being classy and a gentleman.
Some people sometimes compare this with the original Dunhill for Men and I can see where they’re coming from, both are classic manly scents, I’d say Dunhill’s offering has a stronger floral focus whereas Curzon is centred around the citrus and spice combination. In any rate both are fantastic and worth a try.
Nice!

I’m surprised to see that patchouli isn’t rated more prominently, as to my nose, it holds everything together. The opening is a spicy blast of oakmoss and bergamot, but the scent quickly transitions into a smokey patchouli and oakmoss after around ten minutes. An hour later, and the labdanum comes through to sweeten it all up a touch.
The quality of the ingredients helps this classic creation stay ‘traditional’ rather than ‘outdated’. Sure, it’s a but unusual to smell nowadays, and there will be people around me that dislike it, but it is done very well and has been well received so far.
Performance is good for an EDC. It certainly hangs in the air of the room I spray it in longer than most EDT/P I have. Longevity is probably around 6 hours in total, so needs reapplication. Moderate to heavy projection for the first 90 minutes.

I called at Trumpers in Duke of York Street yesterday and tried this whilst replenishing a supply of another (Milk of Flowers). I rate Curzon highly too. The citrus opening is very pleasant, fresh and natural. It rapidly settles to reveal a classy heart of oakmoss and patchouli. Not having much projection, it has lasted well over eight hours on me on a cool December day in England.
To be clear: I love patchouli, labdanum, and oakmoss scents anyway. I can only assume it is the quality of the oils which distinguish this from scents of pretty similar composition. So I’m not sure why this has never been on my shelf. Possibly because I just love Eucris, Sandalwood and Milk of Flowers so much and never tire of their enduring appeal.
For sure there are other scents that are broadly similar. The fact is that Curzon is a stand-alone high quality offering. Be assured: this is another wonderful creation by the most English of institutions.

I’ve worn this for several years and adore it. Many colleagues (and students) have asked what it is as it is certainly a cut above the massed produced aromas (indeed) out there. Agree that it is vaguely reminiscent of my grandfather but there’s no substitute for a classic.

A highly enjoyable barbershop-type cologne in a charming splash bottle. I agree that Curzon Cologne has a sense of being skilfully crafted from absolutely natural ingredients. Moreover, if you love Azzaro Pour Homme, then Curzon Cologne is definitely worth a try as I think they smell very similar with that famously uplifting mossy signature note. However, Curzon Cologne replaces the Gallic flair of Azzaro with a classic British sartorial elegance that makes it a terrific office fragrance, in the spring & summer especially. Forget Dunhill London-Pursuit-51.3N, as Curzon Cologne is much better than those and is highly recommended for those who seek a real British gentlemen’s scent that is intriguingly traditional AND modern.

A lot of colognes, especially designer ones have this cloying synthetic quality. They smell nice but often overpower a room with cinnamon, musk, aquatic notes etc. Curzon is made with essential oils and has a real sense of being crafted rather than mass-produced. It is superbly blended and evokes a sense of style and cleanliness, a proper man’s fragrance without pretentions or claims to be something it is not. Well made, clean, masculine. In a hectic world, simplicity is sometimes best. In this case, there’s no doubt.

Today I am briefly testing Trumper’s drier, more leathery offerings Astor, Curzon, Eucris and Marlborough together. It took me a few tries to distinguish them.
Curzon is sweeter and woodier, smoke with honey. Drydown is a gentle, Preferred Stock or Santos type smoke and wood or incense, with judicious but effective spices. The sweetest of these, but well within reason. Improvement over Floris Elite.

This perfume may seem old, but it is not so.
mature scent, aromatic, spicy fresh, perfect for those who want to feel like men of the nineteenth century.

This is the cologne I buy for my inamorato, and the only one I let him wear (he has no nose for scents). It’s a powerful, leathery, very manly scent that reeks of class. Superb longevity and astounding projection. We decant into one of those little plastic travel bottles from Boots for ease of application (it comes in a splash bottle), and two sprays lasts all day and all night. When he wears this, nobody can ever smell what I’m wearing. Grrr! Stout and sturdy stuff. The Rt Hon. the Marquess of Curzon, Viceroy of India, would have approved…
Don’t be put off by its age, it still works thanks to a sweet and spicy note that pervades the whole creation and lasts throughout. Classics are classic for a reason.
