Description

Oxford is a story of discovery: it is about adventure, pushing the limits and going on a journey where anything is possible. Clary sage and jasmine in the heart are combined with amber, vanilla and oudh to create an opulent oriental accord. Oxford is unique because of the herbal heart in an oriental fragrance, and the striking green notes in the top.” – a note from the brand.

Oxford was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Ruth Mastenbroek.

    Herbal, fresh with a slight mintiness. I don’t really get much of the amber or vanilla in this one. To me it is quite a manly scent but not in a dark leather oudy way but the way say creed aventus is, it has a freshness but at the same time has a roughness to it as well which comes across quite manly.
    Overall it is quite a unique, complex scent which i love.

    After using my second sample of Oxford I can safely say that this is high on my to buy list. A beautiful mood setter of a fragrance. I wore it today for a meeting in an old English country house. Wearing a tweed jacket and cable knit jumper, the earthy, herbal, green woodyness of Oxford felt just perfect for this setting. The green opening lasts a while then an earthy patchouli amber hybrid hangs around for 6-8hrs hours on my skin. Projects really well for a few hours and remains noticeable and no where near a skin scent until the very end.

    Not quite sure how the name reflects the fragrance, I don’t remember Oxford smelling like this. Probably the sexiest, sensual intellectual I can imagine, so it might as well be me. The blurb says unisex, ‘though brave woman who takes this on. HUGE, bold, muscular, takes up space without apologies and boasting stamina, lasts all day (and night).
    I like the earthiness and greenness of the sage and rosemary among the exotic oud and galbanum. For such a savoury dark scent it’s very uplifting. Imagine enjoying a lush and mature, evergreen garden after the Summer sun has broken through after a rainstorm. There’s mud and wood too, not just leaves. The dark tension still in memory, the intensity is present in the warmth and green life fills your lungs, it’s an inhalation of life affirmed after catharsis. A very dark green-oriental. It takes a long time for the scent to go through its layers of notes so you better like them all. I can sense all the notes but not so much the vanilla (that’s a plus, I wouldn’t invest in smelling like an ice-cream). I think it must be there to offer a fullness and roundness rather than impress a sweetness.
    Lovely heavy glass bottle bottle which on first glance looks like an etched silhouetted tableau from a fairytale, though little air bubble trapped under the sticker gave the game away. I went for the large squarer bottle (100ml EdP) but there is also a 50ml inside a different shape, more long mini pyramid.
    No comparison fragrance springs to mind (love to know what others think). When commercial brands products work I don’t mind going along with the crowd and when niche brands offer quirky scents that actually smell nice I don’t mind being a bit different. It’s good to try something unusual that is also reassuring.
