  |  This is certainly clean and sweet. Reminded me of Trumper's Skye, but a bit more sophisticated. Although Trumper only reveals lavender, geranium and cedarwood in its make-up, I detect neroli as the top note, rounded by another ingredient. Frankly, I can't detect any of the three identified ingredients.As I recommend Skye for a fresh summer fragrance for the younger man in his twenties, I recommend Marlborough for that same man once he has turned thirty. Marlborough has very little lasting power on me. After two hours it is gone entirely, but to splash on of a summer morning on one's way to work certainly can set up the day in a positive light. 17 December 2007 |
 | “A crisp aromatic fragrance revealing lavender, geranium and cedarwood.” (Trumper website) Marlborough is a nice, classy fragrance. It has a zesty aromatic opening of lavender and light spice (sort of like cloves, from the geranium). It develops a soapy/barbershop aspect that is masculine and attractive. As the Trumper notes say, there is cedarwood (rather than sandalwood) in it. I agree because I get the definite scent of pencil shavings... distinctive and to my nose quite pleasant. The drydown is gentle and spicy. 03 August 2007 |

| It's very hard to go wrong with Trumper. I received Marlborough today and my senses were dancing all over the place. My wife loves it! It reminds me of a lighter version of Aramis with a lingering citrus note. It is very clean and crisp. I could not detect soap, though, as some of the other reviewers did. It certainly has a barbershoppy edge to it with a touch of sweetness. Along with Spanish Leather, Marlborough has become my cologne of choice. Both convey a clean, conservative British air that, at the same time, are sexy and not at all boring. 01 March 2007 |

| This was the lecture that the Baron de Charlus delivered to the Society of Perfumes in Paris on the subject of Trumper's Malborough cologne: 'Messieurs and mesdames, this is, I believe, together with Astor, my very favourite among Geo. F. Trumper's distinguished range of colognes. Imagine, if you will, a dandy emerging from a barber's shop. Malborough, to my nose, combines a soapy, clean barbershop smell with the distictly sweet fragrance of an old-fashioned dandy's cologne. A fairly unique aroma. Think of a tablet of perfumed soap, one which might be used with equal facility by either sex. Of its kind, it is close to perfection - a fragrant reverie of sweet, clean freshness.' 11 June 2005 |

| Fresh, clean, somewhat heavy and a bit soapy. It faintly reminds me of Villoresi's Yerbamate with the green and sweet grassy notes. Perhaps a bit older and refined in taste for some, but I liked it quite a bit. Good for the office. 26 August 2003 |
