What does Gentleman's Code (Copper) smell like?
The top pairs saffron and black pepper spice with a fruity lift from raspberry. In the heart, violet, tolu balm and leather come forward, with ambrox adding a powdery softness. The base of vanilla, Clearwood™ and musk dries down creamy and woody.
Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. With its leathery, lightly smoky, oriental build it reads masculine. Orientica Leather Oudh and Widian London Black Edition have a close profile.
