Notting Hill (Eau de Parfum)

From your scent profile
Hugh Parsons Notting Hill Eau de Parfum is a masculine scent that builds a fresh opening of ginger, bergamot and lemon blossom over a heart of magnolia and marine notes.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

What does Notting Hill (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. The votes behind these ratings are few, so treat them as a rough guide. No season or occasion votes are available, but its fresh, aquatic character points towards warmer days.
Ginger, bergamot and lemon blossom open citrusy and lightly spicy. In the heart, magnolia and marine notes add a floral, green and aquatic feel. Patchouli and musk sweeten the base slightly and settle it on a woody ground. Lacoste Essential Sport and Sospiro Vibrato have a close profile.
