What does Oxford smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest autumn and spring, though winter and summer have their share. It leans towards office and daily wear and sits easily in leisure hours too. Half of those who voted call it masculine, and a good number find it classic.

It opens with grapefruit and orange, and the heart holds geranium leaf with pepper and pink pepper. In the base, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli form a woody, earthy floor, while styrax and vanilla soften it with a resinous sweetness and cedarwood adds dryness. Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) and New Brand Volcano have a close profile.
