No.607 Intense | Inspired by Oud Save the Queen
Main accords: White floral, oud, warm spicy, vanilla, woody, sweet, amber, citrus, green, aromatic
This is how London Mayfair smells like. On another level, it’s like you can feel 200 years of fragrance expertise in this one perfume. It’s quite different from what you might expect from the notes. You can smell all the notes which are mentioned, but it is so much more complex than you might expect. Rich, exciting, and beautifully balanced, it’s warm, smoky, creamy, spicy, floral, heady, fresh, and powdery. It smells like oud, orange blossom, tea, bergamot, dark fruits, vanilla, tonka bean, jasmine, rose, resins and so much more. If you favour rich, dark, oriental perfumes, I think you will love it.
Natural alternative, cruelty-free & vegan equivalent perfume inspired by Atkinsons Oud Save the Queen
Leslie –
This is my first oud! Did not disappoint since I played it safe with a powdery version. This scent plays well with body chemistry–really expanding on the skin. After the fresh, top powder note, this really is a near skin-scent. The oud plays nicely as harvest/hay barn-type oud. At most it reads as a fresh, summer-dew-sweat at the base. Think of the sweat that pricks up this time of year (September), when it is waxing summer sun, and a little warmth and condensation forms beneath a blouse during the sun-setting. It smells natural and clean at the same time. Not too much silage, so good for layering.
