What does Richard James Savile Row smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and it leans towards business, daily and leisure wear. Half of those who voted call it masculine, and a quarter find it classic.

The top opens fresh and citrusy with green tea, ginger, bergamot and mandarin orange. In the heart, lavender and rose add a floral touch while cardamom and coriander bring spice. The base settles into a woody, powdery, slightly leathery ground of vetiver, sandalwood, amber and suede. Ferré for Men and Ralph Lauren Romance for Men have a close profile.
