Yardley London 2001 EDT
Gentleman Classic
Yardley London Gentleman Classic is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2001. Gentleman Classic opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Lavender, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Pebbles and Vetiver. Yardley London's Gentleman Classic carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.
A crisp, understated gentleman's citrus-woody with a touch of old-school refinement, perfect for everyday wear. Its lightness is both its charm and its limit: pleasant, reliable, but never showy.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
The crisp citrus and aromatic spices make it uplifting in spring and early summer, while the woody base and subtle spice provide enough warmth for mild fall days. Its lightness is not suited for cold winter weather.
Best Occasions
Its discreet projection and fresh, inoffensive character make it ideal for the office or casual outings. It is too understated for formal events and not energetic enough for sport.
