Traditional

This is one of my favorite aquatics, instantly fresh and oceanic right from the beginning, with no ethanol fumes. It has a bit of the Millesime Imperial melon note (i.e. believable honeydew, not synthetic watermelon like in some lesser aquatics). It makes me think of my old days back in Santa Barbara; it's not a stormy gray north seas aquatic like Bulgari Aqua, nor a sunny tropical lagoon like Tommy Bahama Very Cool, nor exotic like MI, just a sort of averagey coastal vibe. The fruit gets a bit dried up and sweeter during the mid notes, bringing it closer to Erolfa, minus the sharp herbs. Later on, the evolution is toward a more green character, which is unusual; it heads toward the wet, bitter grassy style of Hermes Gentiane Blanche or Sisley Eau de Campagne, though there's just a little bit of licorice here which I could do without. This green anisy base is one of the most natural ones I've encountered in an aquatic, without any of the sensation I usually get: "oh, yeah, we threw this base together really quick so it would still have a smell after all the calone evaporated." You can save some money and get this stuff insead of Erolfa.

A class by itself! A scent of a rare durability. Very dapper and refined, and, at the same time, refreshing and energizing. A T-shirt, a polo shirt, a white shirt, a smart casual attire, a formal suit... Hugh Parsons Traditional matches each of the aforementioned garbs. The juice, (un)fortunately, is little popular and – I have the impression – underrated. Nonetheless, I think that it is supremely beautiful, seductive and timeless. The scent, first of all, is composed of fruity notes (which I adore) along with green (mainly Angelica) and spicy (chiefly pepper) chords. There can be no triumph of form over content – I know this with absolute certainty. “The end crowns the work.” The final result of the work of Maurizio Cerizza (The Nose) stands for the authentic coping stone of the genuine work of art.

Interesting fragrance! It smells like illegitimate child of Creed and Floris :) It has this London vibe but with Creed's ambergris note and woods and aromatics.This is not a niche fragrance by quality but good designer scent done well. It might remind you of Chanel Bleu or Versace Dylan Blue but I like it more than the aforementioned two. It smells fresh, a little aquatic, good performance (above average for EDT concentration). Great bottle too!!! Try it, you will not be disappointed if you like this kind of scent.

This thing is truly a hidden gem. It is available in UK I believe. I can't pinpoint notes but it is very unique refreshing aquatic-like. It is very versatile and well blended. It smells so natural and last very long time. Youtube reviewer mymickers also discovered this ;) watch his review called "Fragrance Chat - Andi's Goodies 5-6-12"

Unique, classic scent, that is under rated. This entire house needs to get more love. I recieve compliments from people quite often when I wear this to work. Other men always ask me about it.
