London was launched back in 2006, created by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu, a scent that's firmly rooted in the woody‑spicy‑aromatic family. It's an enjoyable fragrance, said to have been designed to capture the character of the city itself: It's warm, structured & slightly smoky. It came out at a time when “woody spicy” was king, and unlike many modern releases that chase trends, this one has a timeless qruality. Nothing flashy, nothing sweet, just solid, well‑built fragrance DNA. It’s not a clone, not a cheap copy, and not trying to be anything other than exactly what it is: a proper, grown‑up, designer fragrance that was made to last, and honestly, it’s aged better than most from that era. With a bright opening, the zesty bergamot cuts straight into sharp, spicy cinnamon & black pepper. The lavender adds a clean, herbal edge, stops it from being a spice bomb. At its core, cedarwood takes centre stage, the dry, pencil‑shavings mix well with saffron to bring that rich, golden, slightly metallic/spiced warmth. Mimosa adds soft, powdery, floral depth without being sweet. At its base, a dry tobacco leaf, mixes with an earthy patchouli. Then a sweet‑resinous Opoponax gives that warm,balsamicb vibe which is paired with a clean musk to anchor it. Performance here is ok, nothing beastly though. I get about 4 hours on skin, it projects well for the first 60 to 90m. Let it get on your clothes and it will linger all day long. It's still a descent scent,, considering it's age. It is 100% autumn/winter, night‑time, smart‑casual to formal office, dinners, dates, weddings, or anytime you want to smell sharp, trustworthy, and well‑dressed. If you’re into rich, dry, woody scents with real depth and zero gimmicks, this is exactly the kind of thing you’ll appreciate. My Rating 6.5/10 Scent 2 Longevity 2 Sillage 1.5 Y/N 1

Just saw a video that was released this weekend. Ironically, it's a collaboration of the men we had live chats with in the past couple of weeks, courtesy of @Antonio O. Centeno , so the timing for this release is perfect. It definitely gives a different perspective, watching this after getting to chat with them recently. https://youtu.be/d0yyvbE8u9I?is=_6DsO62bX93Z0cIi
