Variety for Summer
Anyone who thinks they have figured out Burlington 1819 by reading the notes and believes it to be a dark, deep composition will be proven wrong upon testing. Instead, a fragrance unfolds that perfectly oscillates between fresh, fruity, and woody notes.
The scent:
The citrus notes initially provide a fruity-bitter opening. At times, a hint of mint can be detected. After about 30 minutes, the fragrance transforms - the scent of mint and cumin becomes more pronounced. Above all, the ginger note unfolds, adding another fresh kick. The ginger comes across very potent and is perhaps the only note that stands out in this perfume. Generally, this Roja is also incredibly refined and everything is finely tuned to one another. Nevertheless, ginger plays a rather prominent role. It develops in a fresh-bitter direction, giving Burlington a very clean character. Additionally, subtle notes of tobacco, saffron, and cinnamon emerge. Here, Burlington gains depth.
At this stage, Burlington remains quite long, and it takes some time for the base note of the fragrance to gain strength and for the ginger to subside a bit.
The conclusion consists of woody notes, along with musk, oakmoss, and vanilla. The base is somewhat less spectacular compared to the top and heart notes, but still impresses with the typical roja balance.
The performance:
Burlington 1819 indeed lasts the entire day and, with a slightly higher number of sprays, provides a sillage that is rarely found in such fresh fragrances.
Conclusion:
For those who are not fans of neroli or strong ginger scents, Burlington is definitely not a recommendation. Instead, my recommendation goes to anyone looking for a versatile summer fragrance or wanting to test a well-crafted perfume that leans towards old-school colognes.

You've captured and described the scent wonderfully. With each wear, I discover a new little nuance. Especially that finely woven cumin (I think) in the later stages has really won me over. Ultra delicious, very modern and chic.
