Yardley not Yardstick
It’s an indictment of English perfumery that its most famous name is Yardley. I’ve always found them second rate, and that applies to this too.
As you’d expect, Black Label is based around lavender. It’s not a soliflor, and not really a fougère, it’s something in between; a lavender-focused blend with fougère elements. In my small bottle, there's also a metallic note which spoils the smell of this Old cologne.
It feels similar to Yardley’s Wild Fern; Skin Bracer / Wild Moss by Mennen, and other pharmacy colognes - which couldn't hold the candle to Caron's Pour un Homme; which is Old but still the yardstick for mens lavender.
