Knightsbridge

Bought this blind as decided to take the risk. I'd only done this once before with 'Bandit' and regretted it. Thankfully I can say that's not the case with this beauty. Absolutely stunning. Has a really classic yet modern feel to it. The rose is prominent at the start with a warm spicy background. It develops into a warm, balmy concoction that pleases my nose. Surprisingly it's mildly reminiscent of 'Calypso' but much more rich and slightly more masculine. I'm a man who is more than happy to wear a 'woman's' perfume(I hate the labels, if it smells nice I say wear it), but with this I feel there is finally a woody, balmy floral that most men could wear. Very happy with this one. Of all my RP fragrances, fracas remains No.1 with Visa a close second, and Knightsbridge has definitely become No.3.

I was in London for holidays last summer, passed-by Harrod`s in the morning, went in and asked for two sprays of Knightsbridge: at first I felt owerwhelmed by the rose and thought "hmm, this is too feminine for me...". Went hanging around all day, smelled my wrist all the time and the drydown was sooo pleasant: when the boost of the rose fades what remains on your skin is one of the most delicate and elegant scents I could try. Guess what? I passed-by again in the evening and I got my bottle! Now it`s part of my top-10 rotation and nobody smells like me when I wear it...

Maybe the closest to how a pale blue bearded iris flower smells. It is perfection in a bottle, subtle yet spicy. It's the sandal and the nutmeg, they say - I do not know, all I know is that is creamy and fresh in the same time. It is the perfect signature perfume. It smells of highlife, intimate but persistent, a bit flowery but not very, powdery but also zesty, it has a bit of everything in such perfect proportion. On the drydown it reminds me of a basketful of crispy apples. May I say 'perfect' one more time, please?

I can clearly detect the orris and the sandalwood which reminds me of Tiffany for Men. But this is a hundred times better, on par with Roja in terms of quality. There is a roundness, a smoothness that only top notch perfumes can produce. But it is not just orris and sandalwood, at times you can detect chocolate (tonka), rose, boozy vanilla. It is just flippin' fantastic!

Stunning scent! It has very classy floral undertones (creamy jasmine and rose) mixed with a modern gourmand note - sweet and toasted tonka beans. Lovely! It’s very elegant yet quite bold. I can definitely smell some white floral notes here (even though they’re not listed). Also for me it’s quite sexy and somewhat mature.
