WoodyWhat does London Funk smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable without filling the room. Some voters also wear it in autumn, while winter gets very few votes. Most voters read it as masculine, though it remains a unisex scent.
It opens with juniper, cardamom, basil and bergamot, which give it a fresh, citrusy, spicy start. In the heart, driftwood and blackcurrant bud come forward, and the base of maté, sandalwood, ambergris, cedarwood and vetiver settles into a woody foundation. Lattafa Emeer and Clive Christian Town & Country have a close profile.
