This has been a favourite since childhood,since i am lucky enough to live very near to the Bourton on the Water perfumery,sniffing the glass rods to delicate music and putting a bit on my wrist,buying myself the tiny sample bottle in the gift shop….before buying myself a 100ml bottle,and my mum the smaller bottle.Do not be fooled that this is a cologne…it projects !and folk will comment,for the good….for many hours ! The blast of aldehydes is like a tall gin and tonic with lemon and you get a sherbety blast that you can’t help but keep sniffing your wrist ! Also an intriguing smell of saltpeter,like pulled Christmas crackers and cap-guns and spent firework tubes and burnt-out matches.also a huge grapefruit note mixed with sour sweet sherbet…..very yellowy-green.the dry down is reminiscent of sharp bramley apples topped with sponge and Birds custard,still with a bonfire night saltpeter smell.maybe a bit of ginger !it smells like something made with the skills of Grasse in France,my 70 year old mum says it smells of “proper perfumery” and i agree.she says that it smells just like her Miss Dior original and she has made it her daytime signature.it reminded me of mum getting ready in the 70s putting on her Karen Carpenter long dress and her Miss Dior.a person who likes to reinact Downton Abbey or Titanic would suit this wonderful perfume,because it smells of proper essences and absolutely timeless……unchanged since i had to stand on tiptoe to smell those glass rods in the Cotswold Perfumery.i advise anyone to hint to their significant other to take them on daytrip to this perfumery,and at least take home a dolls house style bottle teeny tiny sample,and it will remind you of your daytrip to the cotswolds forever !

Dark, deep and almost sticky, a bit treacley at first.
I didn’t like this much when I first sampled it but as I’ve grown to appreciate chypres (on a total chypre binge at the moment!)
It gets a bit more floral with lots of sweet sandalwood.
I’d certainly try a little 25ml bottle, I just wish it was stronger than cologne!

this perfume is like getting punched in the face with sandalwood. I put in on shortly before getting in a car, and i thought i was going to suffocate
