By the editors · 2 min readAn old-school sandalwood cologne in the British barbershop tradition. Lavender, lemon, and bergamot open with that classic clean-shave brightness — sage adding a green-aromatic edge — before the heart steps in with rose, jasmine, and tonka, softened rather than florid.
The base is where it earns its name: sandalwood threaded with leather, amber, vanilla, and patchouli — warm, dry, faintly resinous, the kind of dry-down that sits close to a starched collar. Best in cool weather, on someone who wants to smell groomed rather than announced. Heritage masculine that doesn't need to update itself.
