What does London smell like?

It opens with oregano, bergamot, lavender and sage, a cool, herbal start. Cistus and May rose add a soft floral note in the heart, then patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense and vanilla take over the base. Clove, saffron and leather give it a spicy, faintly smoky edge; the overall impression is sweet, resinous and earthy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out. Most read it as masculine, though classic and feminine votes are there too. Pierre Bourdon Route des Épices and Amouage Interlude Man have a close profile.
