Is London Century your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is citrus (100%), followed by woody and warm spicy. You will probably like it if you enjoy citrus and woody smells and notes like neroli and cypriol oil or nagarmotha. Less obvious notes include bergamot, cardamom and musk.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber and Prada Amber last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cypriol oil or nagarmotha and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Prada Amber has more depth.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €97. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti but less than Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber and Prada Amber.
London Century sillage
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber and Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti spread further.
