English Blazer

Thank you admin' for including this on the website! I have been waiting for some time to review this fragrance! English Blazer is one of those fragrances that can be found at almost every chemist (at least here in Australia). It starts off with crisp lemon underpinned by herbs and spices. It is really superior, in my opinion, to fragrances like Live Jazz, where the lemon smells like a cleaning product or a spray starch. The herbs and spices that are in this fragrance have a camphorous quality that really adds depth to it. It almost smells like there is some lavender hidden away somewhere. Oakmoss is at the base and complements the middle notes and helps to maintain the crispness as the lemon subsides. The whole concoction exudes class, a class which belies the fact that it is generally only found in chemist stores, next to the Blue Stratos and Lynx (Axe). The longevity is not outstanding with this one, but still reasonable (lasts perhaps 3 hours on me before it is virtually undetectable).

Why isn't lavender listed in the notes? It's so prominent, it punches you in the face. I actually prefer this to Drakkar Noir.

Original was produced by Yardley. English Blazer is very good British version of Drakkar Noir.

Just to make a statement this was some of the first colognes I owned and this one is something like the second version. The first one smelled amazing and the cup was silver not gold, and it was straight from the bottom to the end. The bottle was tallest and slimmest. Here the second version with the golden weird cup shape is more like a copy I think they changed the oils with synthetic ones. It could be worn by a gentleman in special occasions in his middle 40's. The smell is with citrus opening like orange mixed with mint and other herbs with the freshness of the air on cool night on the beach. 2 Version: Sillage: 5 Longevity: 4 hours 1 Version ORIGINAL: Silage: from 1 to 10 somewhere 8 Longevity: 10+ hours(I was awaking from sleep every 2 hours and wondering where is it coming this strong smell, where am I, home in my bed or lying on the beach at night :D, weird stuff)

NO EFFIN WAY!!! I can't believe English Blazer is on here X-D fantastic! I'm not being sarcastic at all, this scent wreaks of nostalgia for my teen days, I would pinch it from my dad and take it to school, all my classmates would say "dude! Sophisto or what?". Of course, they were 14 year olds too, but we know what we liked; smelling like our dads X-D It was like having a beer at 14; I enjoyed the fact that i wasnt repulsed by it anymore because i actually enjoyed the taste, much like wearing cologne at 14. But of all the aftershaves and colognes, its hard to find one at 14 that you like. I don't remember what it smelt like, but I know of it as a masculine, refining, proper Brittish scent.

English Blazer... It does smell like a typical classic English scent. Citrus, herbs and wood. There is a touch of bay leaf in it which reminds me of Lustray or Lucky Tiger bay rum. The citrus opening lasts quite long and the overall fragrance morphs into a fresh woody musky scent. Nothing groundbreaking but very nice.

Good scent for the price. The initial impression is very spicy and masculine however after a few hours the freshness of the scent is gone and the drydown smells vaguely sweaty. Reapplication is a must for this one.

I tried this classic fragrance for the first time recently so I don't have the nostalgic connection to the scent that some users may have. However I have worn English Blazer for a few days and as someone who enjoys the masculine fougere/barbershop genre I think English Blazer is a reasonable cheap fragrance. I do remember this fragrance being advertised in the early 1990s as Yardley English Blazer, but today this fragrance is bottled and distributed by Key Sun Laboratories. It is available as an aftershave and an EDT, I have tried both. English Blazer opens with a distinct clove note, clove is not one of my favourite notes, but as the scent dries down it takes on a more woody, mossy vibe with some hint of citrus in the background. Overall a reasonable, old school scent and a good value cheapie. Moderate projection for the first hour or so and lasts at least 4 hours as a skin scent. Those who are into clove may enjoy it. I rate it 3/5.

butane nightmare that lasts and lasts. Smells like lighter fluid mixed with vomit. And no blue stratos smells nothing like this. Blue stratos is a powdery sweet smell. Light years better than this crap

This scent is pure masculine classic gold, IMO this scent lasts longer than mosts scent in my collection, even after bathing the smell remains. Even though these days its found on the local chemist shelf it is still a great drop and an all time classic.

Pure old school class & sophistication. Citrusy barbershop with a delicate and natural marine touch doesn't get any better than this! I truly love this fragrance.

This is a nice fresh masculine out of the shower smell. Same category as blue Stratos. I got it for AUD $4. A bargain I say.

I have both EDT & A/S & in my opinion , smells better than DN ... way more richer & denser & very natural smelling .
