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.

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.
