Cambridge Knight

Finally on Fragrantica! I've been waiting to sing this one's praises. As always with English Laundry, great presentation. The metallic red and gold look classy and classic. Opens with a sharp musk. A little off putting actually. Give it about five minutes. Citruses, black currant , bay leaf and lily enter the fold making it a somewhat fruity, powdery and spicy musk. Extremely clean smelling. A tiny bit floral. It stays this way for some time until the woods round out the back half, cedar dominant. Some oakmoss and patch but subdued. I guess it has an aquatic accord but I don't particularly perceive it. It's hard to really describe this one. I haven't smelled anything quite like it and it's blended so well that the individual notes are more players in an orchestra, the musk the conductor. Divinity. Absolutely great scent. I'm floored every time I wear this one. I typically smell it on myself the next day and especially on clothes. Sillage is pretty great as well. It's not knocking people in the next room out but that's not it's intention. This is a gentleman that commands attention rather than screams for it. This is easily my most complimented fragrance and for good reason. Easy to wear for all ages and situations. No seasonal hang ups either. Stellar job English Laundry!

Very enjoyable and youthful warm weather fragrance, an aquatic, marine scent filled with fresh spicy citruses of very bright grapefruit and black currant, also with beautiful florals at the top. The scent dries down and settles to more thicker notes of oakmoss, musk, patchouli and woodsy nuances, but the scent always remain refreshing, almost sour apple fruity with a little cooling watery effect, giving you a clean feeling. Yes Cambridge Knight have quite strong similarities to Invictus, Invictus Aqua by Paco Rabanne and Legend Spirit by Mont Blanc, but it is not as salty or sour, to me it is more grown up version of those mentioned but with more classy nuance because of strong oakmoss and black currant. I enjoy Cambridge Knight a lot, because it is very easy to wear and it is also simply enjoyable in the warm weather, very versatile and great compliment getter. Performance wise it is just up to average, it projects great while it lasts, but it does not last very long, specially on clothes which is very interesting.

I've been hearing about English laundry I checked out the Oxford blue it was great and I want that one. I seen a little sample pack of four small bottles of English laundry for 20 bucks then I saw a 100 ml bottle of Cambridge Knight for 12.99 I smelled it and was absolutely blown away. It is sweet and fruity at the very top while at the same time being fresh and aquatic. It's a Swiss army knife fragrance meaning you can use this whenever however unfortunately the one that I picked up has an atomizer that doesn't work and it did on the other ones. Whatever I'll make it work this thing is awesome the dry down tends to mature a bit with a type of oud note going on. It's subtle but it's there. This has a little above average performance and projects pretty good for several hours. Super easy to like this fragrance it is a steal for the price they have these at the rack stores. And it doesn't smell cheap at all. Highly recommended.

Very nice warm and sensual scent. It’s my favorite from English Laundry. Would make an ideal signature scent. At first I thought it was kinda soapy and weird but then the drydown hit and I was blown away! Very magical scent! I don’t think it smells anything like any of the invictus lineup. It has way more character and class. This is what the ideal gentleman would smell like! I got lucky getting a tester of this and it’s the strongest unreformulated version. Paid about 30 bucks. Well worth it. Lasts a full day of wearing. I also grabbed a reformulated version from Burlington for 13 bucks that I will use it as a refresher to the edp. It’s essentially an edt of the original.... I truly wish English Landry would go back to their previous strengths. They make such nice scents! But over time they will become irrelevant because a half hour frag is just not worth my time.... 9.5/10 scent.

I used to get sample sprays of the original 2016 Invictus Aqua pretty often when I worked at a nice restaurant in a mall. This stuff is really close to how I remember the first Aqua being. It's missing the ambergris note from Aqua but replaces it with musk, and it's slightly less sweet, but it ends up being functionally the same thing with the same longevity. I get 4-5 hours of longevity with about 1.5-2 hours of projection, but it's good enough I spray it a few times throughout the day. My bottle was a gift, but I've heard it can be bought for under $15 at TJ Maxx, but it's not available at my location lol. Of course you can pay as much as you want for it online. I've smelled a couple other English Laundry fragrances from my friend who gave this to me, Notting Hill is my other favorite from the brand. Absolute steal for under $15 if you can find it!

My favorite by far of the many fragrances in the English Laundry house. Went through a 1oz sampler and re-ordered the giant set in Macy's gift box. The zesty alcohol opening of a barbershop cologne with an herbal juniper middle and a woody floral drydown. Super versatile, light and clean. Don't get any of the acquatic vibe though. This is my go-to scent if I'm getting out of the shower in the morning for some quick chores around the house or errands around town. Sadly its weak as heck. 30 minutes projection and 120 minutes on skin. While it lasts its amazing though. My girlfriend's current favorite of the "clean smelling" section of the collection. 9/10 fragrance 4/10 projection/longevity 7/10 overall

Cambridge Knight is a great warm weather fragrance for going out in the day or night time. It is a slightly sweet fruity aquatic with a woody base. I have been wearing this for the last week, my partner loves it! The first time she smelled me from a floor below and came upstairs to tell me how good it smelled. Too bad 2 hours later and it has disappeared! Even on clothes, this scent can hardly be detected after 4 or 5 hours. I also have Notting Hill and Windsor from English Laundry (EL) and they perform a lot better (+2 hours on skin and clothes). Cambridge Knight reminds me of Versace Dylan Blue without the incense. Excellent budget fragrance for short outings!

Yes, it’s the same type of scent as Invictus Aqua, but not the same exact scent. Similar. Here is the thing, this one lasts and projects better than the decant I have of the original invictus Aqua. I have not smell the new Invictus Aqua so I can’t compare. This one lasts easily more than 12 hours on my skin!. One of the longest lasting scents I have so far. Add to that, that you can get it for as low as $12 for the big bottle, and you do the math. I thought Náutica Voyage was the best bang for the buck you can get in the market, but this one beats it. Advice: careful on the application, this one is potent. Not heavy, potent!.

Sweet currants and grapefruit on the top, aquatics in the middle, musk is clean. Fun, youthful, and energetic. I see a lot of reviews about reformulation. I believe I have the older version because I get extreme longevity. The clothing sprayed with it will still have a scent when it's time to do laundry. It can also transfer to people you hug (according to my wife). She LOVES this fragrance but isn't jazzed about smelling it on herself the rest of the evening. Makes me think it would be great for date nights because the lucky lady will be smelling Cambridge Knight long after you've gone home.

After using this fragrance for the past year and having invictus aqua,rasasi hawas mont blanc legend spirit and dunhill icon racing,i would say that Cambridge knight is better than them all,its a mixture of them all but fresher and longer lasting,Cambridge knight is my signature scent and for 14.99 its the best cheaper but goodie ever!!!!my advice dont pay the stupid high prices people are asking for invictus aqua when u can get this way cheaper and its better than them all.......peace

It's one of my top two favorites from this line. It smells amazing. CAUTION: When i first smelled it, i mean the first spray, it was offputting and i didn't like it. I gave it 5 minutes, bought the bottle, and never looked back. After that even the first srpay i don't smell what i did the first time and i don't know why. It lasts a decent amount of time and it smells amazing very clean and ready for the summer. Its a safe blind buy. I got it at marshals for 12.99 opened bottle.

Oh I'm definitely going to fawn over this because it is freaking good Perfume!!! theres no doubt about that.....I've just recently stumbled upon this brand and it makes very good varieties Of fragrances and this is one of their best ones in my opinion..And that's my nose my olfactory system...And I think it's great that we have Thousands upon thousands of reviews to research upon!!!!! it's better than not having them At all!! ciao !!

I think there are different types out there. I have the much clears/see through bottle and performance and longevity are very poor. I use it for home out the shower because i love the smell and i don't need a bomb and it goes away by the time i go to sleep. It was cheap but if i could go back i wouldn't have gotten it. Its not worth the money. I would not get it, although i really love the scent i am not that upset for 12.99

This evokes the imagery of a crisp, cool and foggy fall morning in the mountains of North Carolina. With the combination of all of the listed notes - very simply...I get almost a sweet...apple spice vibe if I don't think too much about it. Having this fragrance on and drinking a cup of coffee or tea would pair great together. It's very comforting, soothing, and sophisticated. It's nothing a bad guy would wear.

I am so hooked into English Laundry fragrances, all of them are pretty damn good, better than a lot of other designer fragrances. This one however is my favorite so far, the opening is marvellous and it projects incredible with stellar performance on my skin. My wife doesn't approve a lot of my fragrances but she feel in love with this one. I'd say blind buy worthy. For less than 50 you can't go wrong

English Laundry - on par with john varvatos scents, but lasts longer. Cambridge Knight is a fantastic masculine that performs great. This has a classic vibe about it, with woods and citrus, but does not smell dated at all. If you are looking for a house that does it right, look no further than English Laundry. You can't go wrong! Now if we could get windsor in the database... 6/10

Absolutely beautiful fragrance that needs to be spoken of more. This fragrance smells a lot like the new invictus aqua 2018 version, but in my opinion performs so much better. Its a sophisticated invictus aqua and smoother. You can really smell the grapefruit, black current and in my opinion the violet leaf as well. Highly recommend this fragrance A+.

A Very warm and comforting scent with almost a fruity undertone, smells almost like laundry in a sense, extremely nice and is appropriate for almost all seasons, i even think winter, not too strong, it is decently long lasting as well and is very good for its price, my personal favorite and is worth adding to you collection.

This was a blind buy for me after reading several reviews and also because I was actually born in Cambridge and I thought it would be cool own a scent with that association. I have to say it's very pleasant - an aquatic blue (despite the red bottle), bubblegummy type of juice. Maybe not quite in my top ten but not far off.

Very versatile!! This is worth the cheap price point and i think it's great for people who wanna smell good for cheap. dark and mysterious smell. something i would imagine a vampire would wear lmao. very woody and citrusy with a nice spicyness to it. sharp citrus tho.
