What does Great Britain smell like?

It opens with lemon, bergamot and clary sage, then softens into May rose, violet and Grasse jasmine. The base is dominated by patchouli, iris, oakmoss, leather and cedarwood, with clove and styrax adding a spicy, smoky edge. The result is dry, slightly animalic and classic in feel.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong. Most pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out; it sits back in summer heat. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Roja Parfums Diaghilev and Roja Parfums Fetish have a close profile.
