What it says!
Anglia, the second!
As already in my discussion of "Imperial Lime" I don't tell a story here, but let - quite British-sober - the fragrance speak for itself.
Opening: less tangy than Imperial Lime, but just as lemony. Already here it can be guessed that the fragrance was not designed as a more volatile one, like still the imperial lime sister, since heart (basil and carnation) and base (moss) are to be smelled out already after less than one minute clearly as companions, which primes the citric freshness immediately and very nobly
History: After one hour the Vetiver stretches his shy head. The Hesperides retreat a bit and leave well-balanced, only discreetly soapy spiciness behind. Like in good food, everything here seems to be "as if by chance" perfectly balanced, as if it couldn't be otherwise. Here, nothing points to chance, but rather to outstanding perfumery craftsmanship. Mr. Thomson is hereby called to praise the hereafter (if the Anglia recipe really corresponds to the original composition)!
Finish: Comfortable linearity. A little fire slowly glowing in the fireplace. Wonderful.
Here we are indeed dealing with a (in the best sense of the word) classic functional fragrance from England, which offers exactly what the name promises - even if only with durability for the morning. So the seeking gentleman doesn't have to brood long over confusingly multifaceted perfume names:
"I am in search of a refreshing cologne with a... a little extra." - "Beg your pardon, sir?" - "Oh, you know... With some sort of 'twist', maybe?" - "A spicy twist, sir?" - "Indeed!" - "There you go, sir."
There you go. "Thankyouandgoodbye!" You have to like it.
