Etymologically Obscure
To my nose, Vivienne Westwood ANGLOMANIA is something like a cross between Burberry BRIT RED and one of the Sonoma Scent Studio burnt-cedar perfumes. There is also a touch of plasticity in the opening, vaguely reminiscent of Rochas POUPEE, but it's not strong enough to ruin the perfume in this case. All in all, I would say that this composition is just okay: wearable but not really compelling.

ANGLOMANIA occupies the same general olfactory neighborhood as Leonard LEONARA, but the latter is much more appealing to me. As a fan of Dominique Ropion, I acquired 50ml of this creation scent unsniffed, and although I have no regrets, I doubt that I'll buy it again since I'll probably never need to replenish my supply. I do appreciate the bright ruby red ANGLOMANIA bottle, especially its Hermès-like smooth curves and heft.

Best in Summer
This fragrance is mediocre on me in cold months, seems a bit "plasticky." However, it's great on me in summer. The tea clearly comes out on top. It's floral without being too floral. So many of the other tea-based fragrances on the market today are either too sweet or dominated by white florals. Anglomania is neither.

LOVE IT!

Londons Chinatown.
I had the priviledge of being in NYC in 2006 when the Anglomania exhibit was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had liberally sprayed some on and experienced its drama first hand. Pure punk rock style in a bottle. Such a beautiful apothecary bottle too! It feels great in your hands.

The main inspiration is the London Chinatown connection. Dragons, roses and tea! Genius! This is a very red floriental that works best in colder weather. There is a powdery touch within. Iris and violet? The big red waxen rose dominates the composition. Its elegance lasts for hours.

Sexy? Somewhat. London chic? Very.

Well, to be quite honest...
When I first heard the name Anglomania, I pictured Margaret Rutherford, belting out "Rule, Britannia" in "Murder Ahoy." I have no idea why that came to mind. I’ve worked for British and Australian companies for over 20 years, so I definitely have a great affection, yes love, for the island and its inhabitants. But with the sound of Anglomania, something else could have crossed my mind. But no, I see the delightful Miss Marple and hear Rule, Britannia. I wonder what scent she wore? Surely a floral fragrance, English Rose or English Lavender? Anyway, finally to Anglomania.

The various descriptions of Anglomania piqued my curiosity, and my nose began to itch. Since I had never encountered a fragrance by Vivienne Westwood before, I was eager to find out what kind of scent this flamboyant and confident designer had created. So I quickly checked online and ordered the unfamiliar fragrance.

The opening is spicy, sharp, and a bit musty; that’s the cardamom. I don’t like it in food, and as a fragrance ingredient, it’s a bit of a gamble. Sometimes it adds just a hint of piquant spice, and I hardly notice it. But with Anglomania, it exudes a slightly sweaty, musty note. Not so much that I say yuck, but more sensitive noses might be bothered by it. However, the mustiness disappears quite quickly; I actually smell tea, but is it green? No idea, to me it smells like Earl Grey, a black tea flavored with bergamot. Which I, just like cardamom, do not particularly appreciate. Despite these ingredients, I don’t find the scent bad so far. Now a fine powderiness complements the sharp spice, perhaps from rose and violet; I can’t identify these flowers. Later, it becomes subtly leathery and ends in a warm, sweet base.

I had imagined the scent to be more spectacular, but I find it has a certain wickedness and is distinctive. Anglomania is an extraordinary fragrance; you don’t smell something like this on every corner, definitely suited for individuals who enjoy spice and sharpness. And as sweet as many describe it here, I don’t find it so. My better half doesn’t particularly like it either; he doesn’t find it too sweet, rather too peppery.

Sillage and longevity are good to strong; Anglomania should be applied sparingly. It’s not an everyday scent, more of an evening fragrance for the colder seasons. The glass bottle is handy, I like the warm red, and the spray nozzle dispenses finely and evenly.

Conclusion: It’s hard to say; there’s a lot I don’t like about the scent, but the overall package has something, but please don’t ask me what. Well, to be quite honest, I like you my dear.

This is how England smells: traditional, quirky, dusty, punky, eccentric, disarming, whimsical. Very British indeed.
Roses for your tea?

10-15 years later, the niche smells like this. Ahead of its time. Great dark smoky amber-leather scent, wicked rose, very feminine.

Spicy, subtly sweet, dry-powdery, slightly lipstick-like, unexpectedly special, surprisingly good!

Contradictory, complex rose with spices, tea, leather. Ahead of its time just like Vivienne herself.

Still wow! Rose with refined ingredients creates a slightly quirky, profound yet wearable scent. Niche.

A few sweet flowers in the spice kitchen. It might not be too bad, but cardamom, nutmeg, leather, and coriander don't fit.
