What does The British Bouquet smell like?

Bitter orange and lemon give the top a sharp, lively start. In the heart, myrtle, lavender and malt come forward, while floral and fruity touches soften the sweetness. Leather alone remains in the base, giving a woody, leathery finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend fall and spring, with summer a step behind. It leans towards leisure and business settings and also works for daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though it can pass as unisex. Il Profvmo Aventure and Dior Escale à Parati have a close profile.
