Hugh Parsons · 2009

Fresh · Sweet · Spicy

Eau de Parfum

Hugh Parsons Oxford Street Eau de Parfum is a men's scent that sets a fresh, spicy opening on a sweet, woody, slightly earthy base, best suited to work and everyday wear in fall and spring. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter next; business and leisure are the top occasions. It reads mostly masculine, with some votes for classic and modern. Sicilian mandarin orange, grapefruit and star anise give a bright, fresh start. Cumin, cinnamon and cardamom bring the spice forward in the heart. Cistus, Bourbon vetiver and oud then settle it into a resinous, woody base. Morph Kolonaki and Parfums MDCI L'Elégant have a close profile.

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Eau de Parfum

It opens bright with bergamot, grapefruit, blackcurrant and lavender. In the heart, nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper add spice while aquatic notes keep it airy. The base settles on Singapore patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood, softened by white musk.

Fefé (Dandy Napoletano)

6.8

Panama 1924 · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Panama 1924 Fefé (Dandy Napoletano) is a fresh, spicy fragrance for men that opens on tarragon, Amalfi lemon and Calabrian bergamot and settles into patchouli and woods. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on few votes. Voters pick it most often for evenings and nights out, and it also gets worn for business and leisure. The green, citrusy opening gives way to orange blossom, jasmine sambac and saffron, where spice and flowers sit side by side. The base builds an earthy, slightly smoky woody ground from Singapore patchouli, Virginia cedar and gaiac wood, with amber and musk adding a resinous warmth. Brooklyn Soap Company New Level and Lalique Encre Noire (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

Captain Molyneux (1975) (Eau de Toilette)

8.6

Molyneux · 1975

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Molyneux Captain Molyneux is a fresh, spicy and smoky men's fragrance, a fougère built from green and woody tones. It has been discontinued. Ceylonese cinnamon and Zanzibar clove give it a spicy warmth, while thyme, rosemary and Provençal lavender add an aromatic, green streak. Scots pine and Lebanon cedar bring a resinous woodiness, and Bourbon vetiver with Indian sandalwood settles it on a dry, smoky base. Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though the sample is small, so this view rests on few votes. With its classic fougère character and masculine bearing, it suits everyday wear. Chanel Platinum Égoïste and Police Original have a close profile.
