Atkinsons 1878 Cologne

Gold Medal

Atkinsons Gold Medal is a Cologne launched in 1878. Gold Medal opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Neroli, and dries down to a base of Musk. Atkinsons's Gold Medal carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This gold medalist from 1878 is a fleeting, fresh burst of old-school citrus. It's a classic cologne, so expect a familiar, clean scent that disappears almost as quickly as it arrives. A decent aftershave, but not much more unless you love reapplying.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, light citrus character makes it ideal for casual wear, office environments, or even sports where something subtle is preferred. However, its poor longevity and projection mean it won't make an impact on dates or formal events.

About

Imagine a vibrant splash of lemon and sun-drenched Italian bergamot, bright and invigorating. This zesty opening quickly softens into the delicate, slightly green floral whisper of neroli, creating a clean and uplifting heart. Finally, a barely-there hint of clean musk grounds the fragrance, leaving a fresh, almost soapy impression that fades rapidly.
