A gem in my collection and one of my most favorites.

Wow, this is powerful. Animalic oud, cypriol heavy, some sweet beeswax, herbal patch, some leather; this is overwhelming and intense like Complex is. A powerhitter that I love.

Mayfair, so uncompromisingly seductive. Dirty, woody, dry, animalic alluring perfection.
With a drop of labdanum in the opening and the inherently subtle sweetness of floral beeswax, there is just enough nectar in this fragrance to hook me in without ever becoming cloying.
At the fore is dry, musky civet and spicy oud, perfectly pitched against the cedar, birch, leather and patchouli. Yes, woody, woody, woody! Vetiver shows a dark rooty facet here that gives great structure and earthy integrity.
Oh my word. My heart is exploding at the scent of Mayfair — meditative and soberingly sexy.

This scent is raunchy delirium. It is dirty and lusty. Does not overpower your senses. A subdued animalic skin scent.

Beeswax candles and church incense burnt in a wooden stave church. There’s a strawlike undertone, or maybe it’s an animalic tone that reminds me of animals’ cages with straw. Medieaval…. nice. On account of all this wood, a fairly masculine scent but without any sharp edges. Intensely comforting.

The opening smells like Oud Ispahan/Oud Palao. But it quickly transitions into Leather Oud. You can get a 250ml bottle of Leather oud for the pricebof 100ml of Mayfair. Either way, they both are great scents with high quality/Luxurious smells.

I finally acquired a bottle. I have been fantasising about this fragrance since I first discovered it, and am delighted to own and posess it. I’m still getting familiar with it, and thought I’d share my thoughts. It is remarkably similar to Diors Leather Oud which is perhaps the point of its design, and an obvious comparison. If you do own LO then this is perhaps overkill unless the exact genre of LO is what holds you in rapture in which case you will love this. It is similarly dark, dirty, filthy rich, animalic and beastly, the differences are very hard to discern. This has a chocolate effect missing in LO and is slightly less ferocious straight out of the bottle. The coffee and cardamom are slightly clearer here than in LO and despite the fabulous civet pong they make this a scent slightly more appropriate for wearing during the day. This is essentially a unisex composition and its opulence could float either consumers’ boat, but the sheer carnal strength of this animal is best gained by a man – a virile and suave sophisticat. Regal enough to be a signature scent (if used in moderation) you could save LO for nights when you really know what you want- Mayfair is just a hair less sexual, whilst still reeking of privilege and libido. Still, unless you are a predator this may not be an everyday scent rather something for special occasions when you want to exert a strong carnal pull. There is nothing floral or heady about this fragrance, no bright aquatic or ozonic notes to indicate cleanliness, this perfume speaks in very low bass tones, lingering on pauses and staring intensely. It does have a lot of civet which in a curiously pleasant way slightly strangles you and drives your hormonal system wild. It would be hard not to flirt with whomever wears this. It is so similar and not inferior to LO that it would share the honour of most sexy perfume had one not beaten the other to the post. This fragrance is wasted on jeans, sneakers and a tshirt really it needs matching shoes and belt. An ironed shirt. A watch. A sports car. A yacht. Nothing that is said about LO can’t be said about this too, so read reviews about that to get a better understanding of what to expect if you go ahead and buy this, which I believe you should, because it is so agonisingly sexual and louche. The raunch aside, it is also fantastically opulent, enigmatic, and fashion forward.

Although initially this scent is reminiscent of urine and fur, the process of wearing this perfume truly becomes you in a way that seems almost natural, pouring out of your sweat glands, very primal and basic, all the while sophisticated.
It is currently the only scent my body chooses to work with and acheive some degree of personal uniqueness in its combination to my chemistry. Perhaps this is due to the oud.
MetatroN – :
Mayfair is an interesting beast. It opens with a sharp leather, dry and quite realistic, not at all sweaty or synthetic. The oud is present from open to close and manages to be surprisingly smooth and well balanced.
The animalic notes shimmer in and out of focus over time, lending a heavy dose of dirty, almost vegetal skank under some conditions. Temperature seems to play a big part in this, as I notice a distinct difference in the overall feel of this frag moving between warm dry outside and airconditioned inside.
There’s a rather heavy-handed patch here that almost ruins it for me, but is saved in the drydown by the most glorious, singing, natural beeswax I’ve ever encountered. Later in the dry-down this floral-sweet beeswax oud combination is remarkably similar to Oud Ispahan.
The quality of ingredients here speak for themselves – though at this kind of price point, they’d damn well want to!. Mayfair is up there with some of the best leather frags I’ve ever encountered. If the hefty price tag doesn’t put you off, you won’t be disappointed.
Sillage is heavy, but not nuclear. Longevity is borderline eternal. Expensive, but you’re getting what you pay for.

I neeeeeeed this. i NEEEEED THIS!! I w a n t this. i covet it. I desire it, eery night it fills my dreams. It is *extraordinarily similar* to Leather Oud by Dior, it has much of the same everything – filth, sex, leather, oudh, woods, etc. I find them hard to distinguish and will update when can do this better. I know they are different, and I could see myself wearing it much earlier in the day which I would never ever do for leather oud, as much as I love it, it belongs to the night. I am drawing the energy from the universe bringing a bottle of Mayfair and myself closer together and we will hopefully be united soon and then I will be able to write a more lavish and in depth comparison, but in the mean time, shoud LO float your boat, you will love this, though might be wasting your money on something you already have.
