What does Captain Molyneux (1975) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Ceylonese cinnamon and Zanzibar clove give it a spicy warmth, while thyme, rosemary and Provençal lavender add an aromatic, green streak. Scots pine and Lebanon cedar bring a resinous woodiness, and Bourbon vetiver with Indian sandalwood settles it on a dry, smoky base.

Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though the sample is small, so this view rests on few votes. With its classic fougère character and masculine bearing, it suits everyday wear. Chanel Platinum Égoïste and Police Original have a close profile.
