Do you like the smell of antisceptic bandages?
That’s what I get out of the initial application of Wellington Cologne and it doesn’t change much. To me, it’s not an unpleasant scent but it’s nothing spectacular either.
Performance and longevity are below average on my skin.
*** Update ***
I love the shaker bottle for some reason.
Anyway, I’ve found that when I’ve applied a bit more of this, I get the citrus – spice vibe (lemon, rosemary) and it’s grown on me, enough to where I wouldn’t want to part with it.
Additionally, I’ve found that it’s light enough to where I can apply more, like a body splash and it still stays close enough to me to where no one is overwhelmed by the scent. I think this is a great office or before bed scent as well.

Coincidentally, I have been wearing these two testers received yesterday; Wellington Cologne on one hand and Blenheim bouquet on the other, and 12 hours have passed. Always implicit is ‘compared with the other’… Blenheim Bouquet dries down to something surprisingly sweet, soft, dry and leathery. The pepper, which was quite persistent, has bowed out finally, and now it’s just the dried lavender stalk prunings scenting the flickering fire in the library and the cosy old leather chair. And maybe there’s also the scent of the heather the wearer has been striding through, evaporating in the radiant heat. On the other hand, Wellington Cologne, itself delicious, is both quite a bit fruitier and less sweet, drying down to astringency. It’s also perhaps just a little civety as well. Or is it gamy; some poor goose, duck or deer into its third day of hanging in the post-hunting, pre-evisceration suspension chamber? Very very faintly in teh distance. Lemon and rosemary; it’s a nice combination- not that I could detect the rosemary as anything beyond a vague fusty aromatic tinge that I really enjoy light years more than the crashing gears of citrus and – if I’m not mistaken- aldehydes in Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune for example [you work with what you know]. I wouldn’t try to soften citrus by contradicting it; I’d round it out; here, this has been done with a little savouriness and dried herbs. There also seems to be a subtle saltiness. As a complete novice, I’d go out on a limb and call this a kind of gourmand perfume. Impending roast-dinner notes. It goes well with Blenheim Bouquet’s pepper for this reason 🙂

After my recent physical and mental abuse by Blenheim Bouquet, I recalled this brew being a bit warmer and friendlier. It opens as a clean, slightly soapy but dry lemon, a bit like their excellent GFT. The lemon gets lemonier and more bitter, almost to the point of smelling like sweaty BO. This is the phase where I’d almost question the validity of the scent overall. But we patiently press on past the acrid herbs, and a new light green grassiness appears, deepened with a trace of rubbery anise. By the end, an amazing facet has revealed itself…the reedy, bamboo/grass type of note that I’ve come to love in the base of the new Guerlain Vetiver, new Eau Sauvage, Allure Edition Blanche, and perhaps even Encre Noire. It’s sweeter and weaker here, with the rubber persisting, drawing me into a spotlessly clean, heavenly shoe store until it starts to fade leaving only the grassy reed/leaf scent with some florals. I’m really glad I gave this one another chance.

My wife’s favourite…it makes her growl throatily.
Not at all ‘lemony ‘..its complex, herbal, and the note of neroli does not become over-assertive.
