post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
From nstperfume.com:

Playboy Fragrances will launch London Playboy, a new fragrance for men, in July. (Meanwhile, a new Playboy Club opens in London this week; the last one closed in 1981.)

The notes feature pink grapefruit, mandarin, galbanum, rose, cinnamon, Toscanol, Pisco brandy, tonka bean and Virginia cedar.

London Playboy will be available in 50 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching grooming products.

I was curious too so did a search. This from fragrantica:

Toscanol
Group: Chemical Components
Toscanol was created by the house of Givaudan and invented to replace chavicol, and its intention is to contribute to intensity and longevity of the composition. It is stable in aromatic compositions where it prolongs strength and durability of aromas. It is very durable, stays as many as two days on the blotter, when you try the fragrance, and it s very useful for modification of lavender aromas and refreshing spicy aromas.

Seems like a very odd thing to actually list in a set of notes.

Ok, I just tried it. Was expecting 'a lot' of it.
In the beginning, it smelled very 'regular'/'standard'. A bit citrussy.
After a while it smelled more vanille-like with a little touch of musk in it.

Completely different than I expected!
It smells very fresh, like a showergel.


PS: Can someone add 'New York' and 'London' to the fragrance directory?

Now that I smell the card again and I'm looking around my room
and now that I think about it...
It smells exactly like Dove MEN+CARE 'Clean Comfort' deodorant bodyspray!
