Buckingham (1880)
by Crown Perfumery

I like this scent: it suits me very much. It opens with a very nice lemony blast and excellent resinous cypress notes. Pine and juniper provide a fresh, bright aspect; and cypress gives it an elusive, haunting quality. The fougère notes emerge; and they are soapy, even a bit minty. The scent balances light translucency with an assertive confidence. The drydown pleases – it has soapy, aromatic, balsamic, woody notes along with an intriguing wet-stones/mineral/clay aspect.

I can neither find the rotting greens or the musty and fusty. What I do find with this cologne is a fougere like quality that is very pleasant. Yes, the house note is there but playing a very good game with the fougere notes. I like it. I like it very much.

The opening: musty, fusty, almost rank and rotting greens. The development: still musty, fusty - in many of their scents, almost a Crown 'house-note'? - but rather more pleasant as it mellows on the skin.
