This Fragrance Smells Like…
Created by perfumers Christine Nagel and Violaine Collas, 24 Old Bond Street has a rich, warm and spicy tone overall. But it unleashes a surprising freshness at the top of the fragrance as the aromatic, tart subtleties of bergamot, cardamom and juniper berries marry together. The fragrance dances between soft romantic and rich smoky scents in the heart, which is made up of delicately spiced black tea and perfumed Turkish rose. Like perfectly aged liquor, the aromatic notes are drawn out by the rich base of smoky peaty cask whisky and cade, which feels like burnt wood.
