The British Bouquet

The British Bouquet is a classic citrus cologne from Atkinsons, the British house, released in 2013 and worn by anyone. Everyone who describes it calls it citrus, and a third add aromatic, which is a fair summary of its five listed notes.

Lemon, bitter orange and mixed citruses give a bright, zesty, slightly bitter opening in the eau de cologne tradition. Lavender adds the aromatic side, clean and faintly herbal, and myrtle, a Mediterranean shrub, brings a green, slightly camphorous edge that stops the citrus from being merely sweet. There is no heavy base listed, so the scent stays fresh and transparent throughout rather than developing into woods or musk.

There are no community reports yet on how long it lasts or how far it projects. Citrus and lavender of this kind suit hot weather and daytime, from a morning splash to a summer lunch, and will please people who want a traditional, uncomplicated freshness.
