Oxford Street (2009)
by Hugh Parsons

I agree with the Pigeon Murderer's review in the sense i share its point of view about the weird temperament of the smell, about the olfactory apparent dichotomy between the listed notes and the effective smell and about the main characteristic of the scent its self and i'm refering to the smell of shampoo, hydratant creams or bath foam. I detect the tangerine, the grapefruit and may be the airy-gassy influence of cumin, star anis and truffles, the smell is less spicy than expected from the listed elements and the agarwood is detectable just in the sense we can catch something detergent or medicinal (better laundry i would say) from the top to the bottom. The final smell is not offensive or particularly unpleasant  but is just a sort of musky aromatic body balsam, bath foam or gel. Barely decent but i had expected something more elegant and with more texture and class from the brand.

What a weird fragrance, mainly because it doesn’t seem to match that pyramid at all. I was expecting something dry and spicy woody scent, but no….

Very surprisingly the first thing that comes to mind after initial spray is shampoo – some ordinary, cheap shampoo. And this shampoo vibe lives all the way through this scent.

I must honestly say Oxford Street is very poorly made fragrance; it smells very cheap and straightforwardly made. I wonder who the perfumer behind this scent is.

The smell is kind of intriguing at first, but as the time goes by it changes into something really annoying.
Like I said it just doesn’t match that pyramid at all. I can smell a very small dash of (synthetic) agar wood and a minimal pinch of cumin, but apart from that it smells just like some soapy wooden bench at the shower room.

Oxford Street is a cheap smelling fresh woody fragrance. It isn’t exactly a demonstration of any kind of skill when it comes to perfumery.
