What does The Remarkable Success of Mr Harrod smell like?
It opens on cinnamon, raspberry and plum, which give a fruity, gourmand sweetness. In the heart, white cedar, ambergris and jasmine pull that sweetness toward wood and flowers. The base of patchouli, tobacco absolute, cashmeran and oud closes it warm and dense.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter; evening and night out lead the occasions, while leisure and business also get votes. Most see it as masculine. Hanae Mori Hanae and La Collina Toscana Corte Belfiore have a close profile.
