🌲 St James of London Cedarwood & Clarysage Cologne: 1.69 oz – Unique Fragrance for Men Review

Having no experience with St James of London products I was cautiously optimistic after reading the many positive reviews. I am happy to report that I fully agree with them. The aroma is well balanced, earthy greens with clary sage, a soft but not overly sweet floral background with peppery notes and an almost lemony purity. Without exaggeration, this is my favorite scent. I plan to wear it on the street, in the office, for sports or when going out. My wife loves it and says it's a great…

Smells nice when worn. Whenever I tried to squeeze the atomizer, it didn't really work. On the sixth try it spattered and left a foam on my wrist that disappeared after a few seconds. The bottle is not of good quality. Plastic top. Just remember that the bottle changes the longevity (in any cologne). But for $36, it doesn't matter. I have several colognes and took this one on a trip back to the 90's. As with any cologne, the scent and longevity were destroyed by the heat, but before that I was…

I bought this cologne for my boyfriend for his birthday. He always said he wanted a cedar-scented perfume, but he couldn't find it. I bought it for him after reading reviews that cedar wood has a nice smell. I was a little worried because some of the reviews only mentioned older men (my boyfriend just turned 21). But I ordered it anyway. The man liked it very much! said the cedar was a great authentic flavor. I liked the packaging well enough and I think the size is good enough for the price…

pleasant fragrance - a little spicy and pungent, feels like it lacks the base notes of cedar - you really feel the tart, spicy cedar in the middle notes, and if it somehow lingers it just disappears from there - not much woodiness to carry over into the base notes. it says it's alcohol free - perhaps this contributes to very limited projection (at least on my skin). He has a zero loop. Longevity on mine is pretty weak - maybe three hours outdoors, although it takes a bit longer when it…

I sprayed it and was instantly transported from the Virginia coast to the Oregon desert, a place I visited 21 years ago. I think that's what colognes and perfumes do - they evoke our feelings and even memories, they don't just smell good. It is a very clean, distinct and masculine scent. difficult to describe. I feel like a gentleman from the 1950s - clean, decent and confident about the future! The only thing I would wish is that it would last longer BUT that might be my own perception as…

Cedar and Clarysage by St James of London is probably my favorite scent of all time. This is definitely my favorite everyday perfume and I like it a lot more than black pepper. This is interesting in that it smells like mosquito repellent at first, but then quickly turns into the best thing your nose has ever seen. I work with several attractive women and many of them have pressed their noses to me while wearing this and tell me how good I smell. I have a personal theory about scents that they…
