On my skin, the opening of London for Men is a port wine soaked cinnamon bun with coconut covered icing. It would be nice to eat, but I’m not sure I want to smell like this without having said bun in my hand.

As time passes the sweetness eases and a little bit of wood arrives. The wood is always in soft focus, because the syrupiness of the port wine permeates everything.

The dry down is the best part of London for Men. The tobacco is close to fresh cut leaf and blends better with the port wine than with any other note in the fragrance.

If you’re up for booze and bakery, then London for Men might be just the thing, but if you are after real quality try Boucheron Jaipur pour Homme instead. Jaipur is richer, deeper, and clearer.

I used to own this, but ultimately felt it was one I could do without. A recent revisit reminded me of its warm, spicy, woody accords. Opens with sweet citrus, and dries down to a warm, woody base. While I can see where all the tobacco association is coming from, it is really more of a woody, paper-like scent to me.

It was late summer 1994 and I was on a 6 week assignment with a travel agency just off Piccadily Circus. On one of the evenings, a group of us headed off to a bar for drinks and had a blast at karaoke, making complete arses of ourselves. That's what this scent reminds me of: from the peppery boozy opening right to the mildly powdery sweetness tinged with tobacco smoke. Unfortunately, longevity issues mean the fun ends rather abruptly with someone yelling "Hey, stop hogging the mike...!"

It’s peppered cinnamon with a soapy heart of rose and leather over a luxurious base Oudh (touch of it) and tobacco. feels plumy and boozy in it's openin accords along with the gritty woody note..but soon turns kinda soapy..Must be the rose. Overall, a luxurious scent. preferably for evening wear. top notch offering from the house of Burberry.

Sprayed this on my wrist, thought I smelled "Code".... but then sprayed some on my neck, and the next few hours I only got a sour note... Sour, sour, sour....I don't get people saying spicy, or cinnamon, or anything else, just sour.... but not bad, I mean original for sure, I don't know what I got out of that first spray, but since then I just smell the Sour.... Sprayed again later, more sour.... liked it at first, but doubt I'll be purchasing a full bottle...

Lots of cherry-like fruitiness in the opening; it dries down for a sweet and warm blend of red berries and smoky pipe tobacco with a hint of mimosa oil thrown along.
After couple of hours I detect the smell of dried plums and oily leather. Has a long-lasting and aromatic dry down.


Quite feminine, artificial and definitely synthetic, but it smells simply irresistible and wonderful after all.
(Still I must say that I would prefer to smell this one on a woman)


Red, juicy and fresh oriental that is such a typical for this certain decade.
