I love this fragrance !!!! I think it is also suitable for women; it smells fresh and woody, spicy. Not sweet, just great. Penhaligon's have discovered for myself and already "English remote" in use. Simply classical, elegant, traditional. Has nothing to do with the usual sweet smell diesel, can be purchased in normal perfumeries (Douglas & Co). Will probably not my last Penhaligon's be -Purchasing ......
