Description
Burlington 1819 opens with an incredibly bright and juicy burst of grapefruit and lime, further enlivened by a bold mint note, creating a vibrant and refreshing introduction. This initial citrus energy is sustained as the fragrance develops, leading into a warm, spicy, and subtly boozy heart. The dry down reveals a luxurious base where distinctive qualities of patchouli and cashmere wood mingle with enveloping tobacco and benzoin, forming an enduring creation rich in personality. It's a sophisticated scent that balances fresh luminosity with a deep, refined warmth. Perfumer: Roja Dove
