Description
“Luxor Fragrance’s first original creation, For Queen & Country is a defiantly masculine fragrance that was created over a period of four months, using Daniel Craig’s Bond as inspiration. We wanted to create a scent that would befit his take on the character perfectly – unique, rugged and dangerous. A man who gets the job done without the aid of daft gadgets or superhuman ability.
For Queen & Country is a comfortably spicy and woody affair that we fell in love with as soon as we inserted heady notes of saffron and sandalwood. But do not be mistaken – this smells quite unlike any other traditionally masculine fragrance. In fact, its drydown is truly magical, demonstrating an almost cooling quality as the vanilla and cedar emerge to flirt with the opening spice.” – a note from the brand.
For Queen & Country was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Jonathan Storey.

For Queen and Country is Luxor Fragrances’ first original creation, released May 2018, a refined blend of rose, cumin, saffron, bergamot, blended woods, and a wee hint of vanilla. The effect is of a rose-leading but overall fresh spicy blend, seemingly very versatile and fairly unisex while leaning ever so slightly masculine.
Its pricing matches that of its successor, Vice City, at £50 ($65 US) for 50ml, a reasonable price in the niche / clone house world.
Unlike Vice City, it’s an offering I’d consider buying, and it encourages me to perhaps even try their clone offerings, as well.
In conclusion, FQAC is very easy to like–perhaps everyone can like it–though I wouldn’t say I love it, that I swoon for it, at least upon initial review.
