The Dignity of Lord Wisebottom (Part 1)
Gravely, he emerged from the leather seats of his Bristol Brigand, which had come to a stop with a soft crunch on the gravel of the driveway to his country house. Of course, he did not drive a Rolls Royce or a Bentley. Firstly, these brands had been taken over by German car manufacturers in recent years, which had given him quite a shock, and secondly, he left those rolling battleships to the Queen or tasteless nouveau riche show-offs who wanted to flaunt that they had come into money in more or less dubious ways. He himself stuck with Bristol, an English car brand that his father had preferred, and which did not at all reveal that its purchase price was hardly cheaper than a Rolls Royce, but was unbeatable in terms of understatement. The car was old, but designed for a lifetime of use.

His Harris Tweed jacket, which had become a bit worn from heavy use (as a member of the English upper class, he knew, of course, that a slight used look was almost a hallmark of quality), still breathed the scent of the high-quality leather seats of his luxury car. Only those who looked very closely would discover that the leather patches at the elbows were so worn that a repair would be necessary.

Just before entering his country house, he took a deep breath of the fresh air into his lungs and noted with satisfaction the scents of his garden: herbs and roses lining the driveway. Not very well-kept since he had to let the gardener go, but still beautiful.

Inside his house, then, the contrast: dark and shady, just as he loved it, perhaps a bit dusty. He would have to ask Rose... He was unmarried, but had never particularly regretted this circumstance. Of course, the question arose as to who would inherit his estate, but there were still enough greedy nephews and nieces to be considered. His only real concern was that the country house should not be sold. Everything, truly everything, should remain with the family and their descendants.

Rose, his housekeeper, had already prepared his tea. He preferred a blend of Earl Grey and Darjeeling. Only Rose knew how to prepare it correctly. Earl Grey should be prominent, the bergamot oil clearly perceptible without being intrusive. This light scent of bergamot, mixed with the smell of freshly baked scones and shortbreads, which today smelled intensely of spices: he had been looking forward to this all day. What had Rose used this time? Was that cinnamon? Yes, surely! Maybe nutmeg? Probably. Somehow, this mix of scents reminded him of something else, something familiar. Deep in his subconscious, a thought was forming, but he did not realize that this familiar scent could be the note of his cologne; he only sensed it, and quickly that intuition faded away. After all, he was no longer the youngest.

With measured steps, he moved into his conservatory, where lemon and orange trees stood, their gentle, barely perceptible scent making the stay in this part of his house so pleasant, reminding him of his past summer stays on the English south coast, where such plants also grew outdoors.

Just as he was about to sit in his worn favorite armchair, he heard the sound of the doorbell and shortly thereafter the hurried footsteps of Rose, who had taken over supervision of the front door after his butler's departure.

“Lord Wisebottom,” he heard her voice, “the bailiff is here again. I fear this time he really means business.”

He could wait. He had no intention of being disturbed during tea time. What these little officials thought they could do. Calmly, he picked up his beloved Times and allowed himself another sip of Earl Grey.

Take Your Time
An unpretentious fragrance that nonetheless possesses considerable depth. A simple scent characterized by great attention to detail. An affordable fragrance, yet the result meets the highest standards. With a pleasantly manageable spectrum of ingredients, For Men / For Gentlemen embodies all these qualities.

The opening is delightful and perfectly suited for changeable spring days. Citrusy, lightly ambered, somewhat peaty and bitter. A gentle juniper berry note adds fleeting accents. It is refreshing, it is grounded, and one immediately feels at peace with oneself and the environment.

Quickly, a herbaceous-mossy spice joins the initially described structure, which is characteristic of the middle phase of the fragrance. For Men / For Gentlemen takes on leathery, tanned nuances, and the nutmeg is also distinctly noticeable at this stage. I would certainly attribute masculine qualities to the scent; at the same time, the sillage is pleasantly unobtrusive.

It takes a while for the patchouli to anchor itself in consciousness, but when it does, it reveals itself from a very beautiful side. Subtle, earthy, and slightly medicinal, it skillfully completes the nature-connected overall impression.

After about three hours, For Men / For Gentlemen noticeably pulls back, the individual facets of the fragrance spectrum are embedded in a mild soapy note. Nevertheless, the finish is lasting and lingers well into the afternoon. For Men / For Gentlemen may initially seem somewhat unremarkable, but those who give the fragrance the attention it deserves will be rewarded with hours of tranquility.

Olfactory Delight
Amid all the shrill, fruity, powdery, intoxicating, and who-knows-what-else scents that exist, and of which undoubtedly some are very good, "For Gentlemen" by Woods of Windsor is a kind of relief for the nose. Fresh, green, woody, mossy, delightful. It comes with few defining fragrance notes: clove for a bit of spice, nutmeg as a mediator, citrus for freshness, and patchouli and oak moss for the earthy mossiness. It’s as if after a long and extensive visit to a perfume shop, where one has smelled many things, you step out into an evening damp countryside, where trees, grasses, and moss calm and gently envelop the nose, allowing you to breathe freely again.... And yet, "For Gentlemen" is not a banal scent, but one with depth and expansiveness....

The Woods of Windsor ...
A fresh, cool breeze blows from the old, gnarled trees.
The green leaves, already a bit autumnally yellowed, rustle.
A wind harp …
Bright, almost silvery, rising into the vast blue sky.

The cracked, furrowed wood of the tree trunks, where the sun weaves golden patterns, quietly weaves dark, earthy tones into the chord of the wind harp.
A gentle whisper hovers within it, a fleeting, cheerful sequence of bright, sun-yellow tones, dancing around the venerable, old trunks.

A soft flute joins in, inconspicuous, simple, yet persistent - a bit melancholic, it seems ... a play of contrasts, a calling …
It drifts past that decayed garden fence, where a saddle has been laid down, carelessly, almost forgotten …
Blending with the warm scent of the sun on the old leather, brittle and fragile …

Close your eyes.
Listen.

The Flea Market Visit, or How I Came to Own a Real English Gentleman’s Fragrance
Recently, I visited our city’s Sunday flea market again after quite some time. I didn’t really intend to buy anything specific, just wanted to browse a bit. After almost buying a computer hard drive that the seller claimed was still perfectly fine and only occasionally not recognized by the system, I was about to head home empty-handed when my gaze fell upon a small collection of miniature bottles at the opposite stall. Interested, I took a closer look at the collection. There were many small dusty bottles, some with caps and some without. The only usable one seemed to be a slightly larger bottle labeled Woods of Windsor for Gentleman with a tower on a yellow label. This vessel was also quite dusty, had a very classic shape, and appeared to be a few decades old. My suspicion was confirmed on the back. The bottle was dated to 1991. Since about 3/4 of the contents were still there, I bought the rare piece for a mere 2 euros. I didn’t even have to negotiate.
Once home, I first tested the contents on a paper test strip and was surprised to find how good it smelled. A lovely fresh lemongrass note with a hint of orange supported by verbena. No sign of being old or spoiled. Great!
Impressed, I sprayed the perfume on the back of my hand. Again, this wonderful fresh note, not overpowering but still very present. Was that it? Not at all! It just kept getting better. In the heart note, more and more diverse spices emerged. Dusty cinnamon, peppery nutmeg, and sharp clove embedded in woods like sandalwood and/or cedarwood. This wood-spice mixture was framed by an earthy, slightly bitter, clearly defined vetiver note. In the dry down towards the base, the woods became increasingly prominent, and after 4 hours, the scent slowly faded, becoming barely perceptible on the skin.
I felt like I was wearing a discreet yet unmistakable dry wood-herb fragrance with a lot of noble British style. It could be perfect for visits to English gentlemen's clubs, like the Reform Club.
In any case, it was a lucky find, as the current reformulated Woods of Windsor for Gentleman seems to lack the quality of the vintage version in terms of spice development. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Clean smelling "masculine" eau de toilette. Mainly noticed the bergamot and clove fighting for attention

The scent draws its traditionally British charm from the combination of citrus notes and distinct nutmeg or clove.

Very herbal, minimally spicy, I don't notice any lemon/orange, and only a little oak moss and patchouli, unfortunately not the original version.

Eau du Sud in the English understated version. Aromatic-citrus and wood, seamless, subtle, high-quality, but explicitly un-luxurious.

Soapy-green-mossy-classic. Similar to "G-man (Eau de Cologne)" but fresher and less overpowering. Nice but not my style.

Different than expected. Old-school, spicy, animalistic.
