What does Oxford & Cambridge (Cologne) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter a distant fourth. Leisure, daily wear and the office get the most votes. Most voters call it masculine, though a good number find it classic.

The top is cool and citrusy, with rosemary, peppermint and bergamot. True lavender and French lavender form the heart, where the fougère structure settles in. Oakmoss at the base leaves a green, woody floor, with a spicy edge alongside. Rabanne Paco Rabanne pour Homme and Façonnable L'Original have a close profile.
