Marylebone Wood

Taken as a whole it smells warm and resinous: amber and sandalwood bring the sweetness, patchouli and vetiver add an earthy depth, and cedarwood draws a dry woody frame around them. Grapefruit lightens this heavy picture a little, but the oriental, powdery character dominates.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, while leisure, night out and evening wear get almost equal support. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though a fair share see it as feminine, so it sits comfortably in between. Thameen Carved Oud and Réminiscence Le Patchouli have a close profile.
