An Epitome of Trad British Men’s Perfumery

This is a sit-up-and-take-notice fragrance from a comparatively new niche house that knows how to do British perfumery right. The house was launched precisely to provide traditional men’s perfumery done in a slightly modern way.

It succeeds.

But Arezzo (as opposed to the other offerings) doesn’t smell particularly like British perfume. Rather, it is a unique blend of British, French, and Middle Eastern. There’s mandarin off the top but almost immediately the spices and leather and animalics rush in.

It is difficult to compare this to any other fragrance, and I say that as a compliment. It doesn’t smell like a mixture of any other fragrances either. The closest would be Amouage King Blue, but it is much, much more elegant than that.

The fruit and spices and leather and oud create a unique, striking impression. With notes like these, you can imagine how long-lasting this is.

A notable cool-temperature-suitable contribution from the house of Naughton and Wilson.
