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
