What a Gentleman Smells Like
The only offering from the exceptional British niche house entirely appropriate for summer wear – yearlong wear, in fact, though a full summer citrus-forward release is coming later this month. N & W was instituted precisely to revive classical men’s perfume, though done in a distinctly modern way. It has accomplished its objective in spades. Bon Viveur starts with smoothed out (not zingy or juicy) citruses and dries into pepper and patchouli and gin and oakmoss. Did I say smooth? This is an extraordinarily smooth fragrance, befitting a gentleman. Good projection and longevity. This is what a gentleman smells like.
