Yardley London Yardley Gentleman Elite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Yardley Gentleman Elite opens with Grapefruit and Basil, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Pine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Yardley London's Yardley Gentleman Elite carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, bordering on infamous, for its inconsistent performance and quality. Some call it an old man's cheap shower gel, others a signature scent that garnered more compliments than anything else in their collection. Go figure.

Its generally weak projection and longevity make it ideal for casual wear or the gym; it's clean and inoffensive. For office and formal events, it's a bit too understated to make an impact unless heavily oversprayed, which is fine given its low price point.

About

Yardley Gentleman Elite kicks off with a sharp, juicy grapefruit and leafy basil which quickly gives way to a conifer forest floor. Pine and earthy vetiver take centre stage, underscored by a classic base of creamy sandalwood, dirty patchouli, and a warm amber glow. It's woody, green, and a bit murky.
