Police Cosmopolitan is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004. Cosmopolitan opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Sage, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Ylang-Ylang, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Police's Cosmopolitan carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This budget-friendly clone of JPG Le Male is a solid, clean, and sweet vanilla powerhouse. Some consider it a club beast, others a versatile everyday scent, but nearly everyone agrees it's punching above its weight for the price. If you love sweet vanilla and want to smell good on a shoestring, this is your guy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a refreshing blast of mint and zesty bergamot, softened by aromatic lavender and herbaceous sage. The heart introduces a creamy floral warmth from ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine, spiced up with a hint of nutmeg. It settles into a comforting, musky vanilla base, grounded by sandalwood and cedar, with an intriguing animalic whisper of civet.
