Mayfair Pagan is a Cologne. Pagan opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Iris, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Mayfair's Pagan carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive, vintage, and distinctly un-floral despite official notes. Opinions vary wildly, especially between old and new formulations, but it promises a confident, intriguing, and sometimes 'naughty' aura at a bargain price.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given its strong and often 'naughty' or 'sultry' association from reviews, Pagan is better suited for evening dates or special occasions than for the office. Its moderate longevity in modern formulations means it's still wearable casually, but its character leans more formal or intimate.

About

It starts with a surprising herbal, almost medicinal blast, hinting at aniseed or vermouth, quickly evolving into an incense-like quality. The journey settles into earthy oakmoss and musky depths, with a subtle sweetness and powdery whisper providing balance. Some even detect a fizzy, spicy cola-kube note, making it wonderfully complex and defying simple floral categorisation.
