I say! Fancy a G&T?
Has there ever been anything more English than a good old gin and tonic? Dab a drop of this fabulous extra - not an eau de cologne, by the way, despite the name it's a highly concentrated, pure perfume - and find yourself in the front row at Wimbledon, where you can watch Roger Federer effortlessly defeat Rafael Nadal . It's a warm, sunny day and you're clad in cool white linen. An ice-cold gin & tonic rests on one side, sweating beads of moisture on the other side a plate of tender cucumber sandwiches - crustless, please.
This fragrance is a time capsule of these classic English traditions. The opening is as refreshing as a long sip of this ice-cold G&T - teeming with peppery citrus and the gin-like juniper berry, it explodes from the bottle like a freshly opened bottle of Schweppes Indian Tonic. If you're not already trembling with anticipation, you should see a doctor.
The heart of Gin & Tonic Cologne shimmers with spicy, bitter aromas such as lemon and grapefruit peel and juniper berry, but a cool, watery note also floats through the heart, lending it a gentle freshness. This is the cucumber note - slightly aquatic, clean and cool. Breathe them in and imagine the expanse of green grass and summer white.
In the base note, a stunning note of white amber weaves through a blend of light cedarwood, vetiver and incense, bringing a sophisticated, mysterious, maritime woodiness, like ancient driftwood bleached white by decades of sun exposure and sand. Wearing this fragrance on a hot summer day is a balm for the soul. It's also uniquely British.
