British Man For Men

British Man opens crisp and zesty - grapefruit lifted by a fresh-spicy cardamom and a herbal tarragon, instantly recalling the polished, slightly green opening of the original. The heart brings cedar, nutmeg and a green birch leaf, dry and refined. The base settles into vetiver, sandalwood and guaiac wood for a clean, smart woody finish. Compared to Mr Burberry, this Perfume Parlour interpretation is close on character - many wearers say it smells just like the designer - reading a touch fresher up top while the woody drydown is a little thinner and more linear. As with the original, which itself isn't a powerhouse, staying power is moderate. It remains a clean, versatile woody-citrus that makes an excellent office and daily scent, smart enough to dress up.
