Hi folks.

I know there are a few Crown fans here -- This may be old news but this UK company have relaunched some of their scents by the looks of it - has anyone tried them?

I've emailed them for more info - i'll keep you posted

I´ve tried Spiced Limes, it´s not so bad but the original is much better in my opinion.

This is excellent news. The site that is linked with and distributes Anglia looks amazing as well. english-scent.de looks set to carry on the great British traditions.

Thanks for sharing this Grant.

Interesting, so there are a few re-launches under Anglia perfumery's name & Clive Chrisitian has bought the rights to use the crown stopper, what a history...

I thought Royal Yacht was re-launched by Taylor of old Bond street under No.74? I still have Royal Yacht in the original red box, interestingly enough some basenoter likened it on the directory to the smell of a whore's handbag!

Good catch, Grant! I'm a big Marquis fan. That Royal Court (formerly Royal Yacht)looks good...does anyone who's tried it find it "floral and eccentric," like they say it is?

Yes it is, it has a musky presence, one that is reminiscent of an Edwardian barber shop, it has a snooty air attached to it, hence it is was favoured by the well-heeled members of society - those that wine & dine in Mayfair, buy their shirts from New & Lingwood or Turnbull & Asser on Jermyn street, those that wear shoes constructed by the likes of Crockett & Jones, Edward Green & Fosters & Sons. In short, it used to be well noted for the old establishment (educated in schools like Rugby, Eaton & Oxbridge).

One must definitely sample this before buying as it is not to every one's taste...

Their site and packaging could certainly use a visit from the Fab 5! Yikes!

Hi guys,
I've ordered several times at englishscent.de and they're really recommendable. Fast, friendly service. And of course they carry really interesting stuff (I love Marquis and Royal Court), especially the Trumper frags and of course C&S (who obviously still have production problems).

As an eccentric Englishman myself I should have known about this - but didn't. Thanks Grant.

Couldn't resist reviving this old thread. First, The Good Life introduced me to Crown's Sandringham, and I loved it; next, I went on an internet shopping spree and bought full bottles of Sandringham, plus 3 Anglia scents, Sissinghurst, Park Royal and Marquis.
Sandringham is a surprisingly changing scent, one day it's green and the next day is woody.
On the 3 Anglias, it's just the first day, but I'm very, very excited. They're all so smooth, warm, balanced, pleasant to wear; Marquis being the most surprising and original. They're powerful and long-lasting too. And I love their minimalist packaging and very reasonable pricing ! A great discovery for me.

Yesyesoldboy, the Empire may be nearly gone but it's still leaving a scent trail here and there.

I am getting ready to send off my sample of Crown Perfumery's Town & Country to a fellow Basenoter.

I had never sampled it before today and it just took my breath away - powdery and barbershoppy with a ton of sillage.

Perfumeintelligence describes it as a 1925 scent that is "a crisp mossy masculine chypre edt with notes of clary sage, lavender, rosemary, wild thyme and musk." [Sounds like my Mossy Woods family to me!]

Anglia has taken over production of many of Crown's fragrances. Does anyone know if Town & Country is available and, if so, under what name?

Thanks!

You can still get bottles at firstinfragrance in Germany (I have it as well and offer "smaller quantities")

Hey guys, you can still get a lot of the crown perfumes from Parfumes Raffey. I live across the street from him and i buy from him a lot, especially the crown perfumes. Here is his site.

I was curious how similar the Clive Christian products are compared to some of the Crown products. On a side note for those of you familiar with the Crown products which might you recommend as a first try for me, I like:

Versace Dreamer
Gucci Nobile
Gucci Envy
Prada Amber
Truefitt & Hill 1805
Jil Sander Men

Just to name a few

I have just tried the Royal Court and Park Royal.

One of the notes in Royal Court just doesn't agree with my nose, it's making me sneeze, apart from that, it's amazing. Of the two though, I prefer the Park Royal.
