What does Britannia smell like?

The top notes of cardamom and coriander give a spicy start, softened by amber notes. In the heart, orange blossom and neroli bring a citrusy floral warmth. The base is led by woody notes, leather and ambergris, leaving a powdery, resinous, leathery oriental character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also suits leisure time. More voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Boadicea the Victorious Joyous and Guerlain Ambre Éternel have a close profile.
