What does Oxford smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with orange, lemon and grapefruit. In the heart, lavender, neroli and jasmine bring a soft floral touch, while a spicy edge stays in the background. Vetiver, musk and amber settle the scent onto a warm, woody footing.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business all get an equal share of votes. More voters call it masculine, though a fair number read it as feminine. Floris 1976 and Harry Lehmann Esterel have a close profile.
