Description
“In May 1969, I was 12 years old and flew from Swaziland to London on a trip with my parents. Emerging from Piccadilly Circus tube station, I was wide eyed in wonderment seeing the Eros statue and fountain, whose steps were people-crammed with Patchouli perfumed hippies. The combination of Patchouli oil and petrol from all the traffic, proved an indelible inhalation!” – a note from Richard E. Grant.

Nice smelling fragrance but the performance is poor.

I like it! This was an impulse blind buy for me (I blame insomnia) but I think it was a good call.
The bergamot + ginger open is so lovely. (It took me forever to place the “spicy woodsy… something” but once I got that it was ginger the whole thing makes sense.) The ginger note fades pretty quickly, followed the bergamot, but the top notes blend smoothly into a delicious cedar + cypriol blend that I found just delicious. The cypriol lightens up the cedar and makes it greener, while the lingering ginger gives it an additional depth. I didn’t get much of a leather note, or sense any petrol or patchouli, but the amber does make an appearance in the fragrance’s later stages, albeit very much in a supporting role.
This fragrance has good performance and a 3-6″ sillage. Overall, I think this is a good, hardworking fragrance that I will wear to the office happily. While I wouldn’t call this a value, I additionally think that at $130/100ml, it is very reasonably priced.
