Blenheim Bouquet EDT
1902
“The scent of a Mayfair morning in 1920 — brisk, lime-sharp, and impeccably English.”

The take
What works
- ●Over 120 years old and still one of the finest citrus-pine masculines made
- ●Pepper-lime-pine accord has never been bettered
- ●Historical significance — worn by Winston Churchill
Trade-offs
- ●Short longevity by modern standards
- ●Very traditional — wrong for those wanting modern edge
