Marlborough (Cologne)

Cedarwood opens the scent. In the heart, sandalwood, spices and more cedarwood come forward, and sandalwood and woods settle at the base. The accords are green, spicy, woody, resinous and smoky, which gives it a dry, wood-led character.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and business are the most voted occasions. Chabaud Cèdre Noble and Rito Oltre have a close profile.
