It's high quality lemon, and not much else...
A brief blurb to place my fragrance sensibilities: I'm a middle-aged professional man, father, who enjoys a nice wardrobe, including fragrances. My collection is considerable, numbering in 'several hundreds'. I enjoy anything that is well put together, smells pleasant, and has acceptable longevity. I despise cloying fragrances, especially artificial ones, cheap, synthetic "woods and spices" types (astringent old-man smells), and many "red" fragrances for lack of a better term, based on cinnamon, cardamom, amber. Things often called "Desire" or "Night". I love aquas, chypres, florals, fougeres, oudhs, attars, orientals. Good ones anyway. I was very excited to try Truefitt & Hill after reading reviews here as well as on basenotes.net. It sounds like a great British perfumer; similar to Czech & Speake and among their full range of fragrances, it sounds like it's hard to go wrong. I purchased 5 of them: Trafalgar, Grafton, Freshman, Clubman, and West Indian Limes. Trafalgar, as with the other bottles, has a terrific presentation. The box is ornate and very neat; the bottle is heavy, solid, has a matching ornate label on the front and a gorgeous etched pattern on the back. Wonderful. The fragrance itself is a bit of a letdown. The topnote was lemon. One of the better, natural, lemon-forward scents I have experienced. The mid-note begins to dry down into a really subtle, pleasant jasmine and what seems like a seriously subtle hint of rose. Then, the basenote... lemon. Just lemon. I couldn't pick up anything else. I had a clean palatte and really, it's pure lemon. I simply can't pick up anything T&H describes this fragrance as having. Additionally, the longevity is dismally bad. After an hour the sillage was down to about 1 inch from the application, and after about 3 hours, there was no trace whatsoever. I chose to move on trying something else; I didn't even need to wash my skin or change shirts. It was simply gone. It does appear to be high-quality, as every review does claim about other T&H fragrances. It seems to be very natural, and as such, it's tough to combine that with longevity. I'm thinking Creed; some of those fragrances are spectacularly nice, but don't last. The fragrance is so linear, one-dimensional... it's an excellent lemon-forward fragrance if that's what you're after, but it really is nothing more than that, just a great natural lemon. There's just a bump in the midnotes that you won't notice if you aren't really paying attention, smelling for it. The longevity isn't even half-day, so it won't last you until a lunch date. For the price, the lemon just doesn't add up. I'm still very optimistic about the other ones. I will review them all in turn. However, this one leaves a lot to be desired; it's OK, short-lasting, and not special, not unique. I would have loved it if that jasmine kept blooming in the basenote but instead it receded behind the lemon. As far as this particular scent, I can't endorse it simply because of the price. It'll be nice enough to wear but really isn't exceptional and is overpriced for what it is / does. Cheers.

Elegants!
Ir grūti, ja vien nesat 'super-deguns', kvantificēt nianses, ko sarežģītas smaržas atnes, vai tas būtu vīns vai produkts kā odekolons. Tomēr esiet droši, šī ir bagāta, sarežģīta, 'debesis uz zemes' pieredze, tiklīdz odekolons pieskaras ādai. Varbūt tas esmu es, bet dāmām šķiet, ka patīk. Ir liela iespēja, ka viņas sajūt kaut ko unikāli sublimu. Kas nekad nekaitē..... ;)

Smaržo kā LORDS
Es nopirku šo Londonā Truefitt and Hill veikalā, un esmu ļoti apmierināts. Ja jūs nezināt, kā smarža ir, es iesaku nopirkt sampler pack vai izmēģināt viņu shaving cream vispirms, pirms izdodat naudu. Tas smaržo tieši tāpat kā aftershave un shaving cream. Vienkāršā valodā smarža ir kaut kas starp tējas lapām un pikantu koka smaržu. Tā ir noteikti cita smarža, bet ļoti patīkama. Ja jūs gribat smaržot kā lords, šī, iespējams, ir smarža, kuru izvēlēties. Ilgstamība ir diezgan laba, apmēram četras vai piecas stundas, atkarībā no tā, cik daudz uzklājat. Tomēr šī ir ļoti rafinēta smarža. Nav pārliecināts, vai tā ir perfekta rītiem birojā, jo tā ir diezgan augstākā klases. Ja meklējat kaut ko gaišāku no Truefitt and Hill līnijas, iesaku Freshman, Sandalwood (ļoti patīkams) vai 1805 odekolonus.

Lielisks odekolons
Šim odekolonam ir lieliska pikanti-citrusaina smarža ar bay rum piegaršu. Tas ļoti labi atsvaidzina seju pēc skūšanās un neapdedzina. Man arī patīk, ka tas nav tik taukains kā daži vīriešu odekoloni. Vērts naudas.

Šis ir bezgala labs!
Šis patiešām ir augstas kvalitātes produkts! Tas paliek pie jums stundām ilgi un ir ļoti patīkams. Es atklāju, ka tas ir nedaudz garšvielots, bet ne pārmērīgi. Tas ir mazliet dārgs, bet mazums iet tālu, tāpēc jūs nepirksiet citu pudeli labu laiku, pat ja lietojat to katru dienu.

Rafinēta un tīra
Šī ir mana mīļākā smarža. Tīra, svaiga, tieši pietiekami saldena un dzīvīga. Tas pārsteidzoši nav pārāk stiprs, kad uzklāj vispirms, tomēr patīkami paliek jaušams vairākas stundas. Mazliet dārgs, bet neliela deva ilgi kalpo. Vērts katra centa.

Brīnišķīga smarža
Šis ir mans trešais Trafalgar pirkums. Man ļoti patīk smarža. Īpaši patīkama pavasarī un vasarā.

Spicy, Light, Cedar, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Spice
Bay Rum guy but tried T&H's sampler. This Trafalar is great. From the T&H's website: "Spicy, Light, Cedar, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Spice." The scent is complex and wonderful, I just wish it lasted a little bit longer. (Also a historical note on why T&H's Trafalgar cologne is called that. T&H started in 1805 in London, which in October, 1805, Commander Nelson (Lord Nelson) who was in charge of the British navel forces engaged in the "Battle of Trafalgar" against the French and Spanish forces off the Cape of Trafalgar, (hence the name). Look it up, because Lord Nelson wanted a "pell mell" battle and broke every rule in the navel engagement book, e.g. Nelson allowed the French and Spanish ships to "cross the [British ships] T," which every navel commander seeks. But Nelson knew what he was doing because he knew the Spanish ships could only fire one shot, the British ships could fire and re-load.) Please note the difference in the types of men's "scents." The least powerful is the "spray;" next is "aftershave;" then "eau de Cologne, then the "eau de Toilette," then the "Eau de Parfum," then the most concentrated and powerful, and expensive, is the "Parfum ". So you could buy the same brand, but depending on what it is, it could be a completely different "power" of the "scent."

Ja meklējat santāla koka smaržu, šis nav tas, kas jums nepieciešams.
Es gaidīju spēcīgāku santāla koka aromātu, bet smarža, kāda tam piemita, bija patīkama.

Kas notika ar šo odekolonu?
Man šis odekolons bijis arī iepriekš, un uzreiz varēju pateikt, ka šī pudele ir mazliet cita - iespējams, nedaudz atšķirīga formula vai kaut kas tāds.. Atšķaidīts? Tas nav tas pats.. Iespējams, tas ir ļoti vecs krājums? Šī smarža man patikusi gadu gaitā, bet šī pudele nav tāda pati salīdzinājumā ar pagātnes pudelēm..
