Description
Atkinsons 1799 - 41 Burlington Arcade
Named and dedicated to the new flagship at 41 Burlington Arcade, itself a contemporary paean to English refinement, the fragrance is the latest member of the historic Emblematic Collection.
Centred around Liquorice and the revelation of its sensual charms, darkly bittersweet and earthy tones have been sublimated with vivid notes of pink pepper from Reunion Island, West Indian Bay leaf from Dominica and Indonesian Patchouli. Floral transparent notes have been dialed up to deliver freshness and vivacity.
The fragrance’s daring individuality and unisex appeal perfectly encapsulates the eclectic spirit of today’s Mayfair. Created by Julie Pluchet who grew up in the
bucolic French countryside, it brings a contemporary vision of perfumery driven by
an innate intrigue of new olfactive territories.
For Your Nose Only – Atkinsons Fragrant Mission
Atkinsons' greatest devotee in Regency England was that fabulous arbiter of all things elegant, Beau Brummell, First Dandy of the Realm. Lesser luminaries - Napoleon, the duke of Wellington, Admiral Nelson, Lady Hamilton, Prince Tomasi di Lampedusa, Queen Margherita di Savoia, and the Tsarina of Russia also clamoured after Atkinsons' customised bouquets. Soon, all of society was hot for the house's instantly recognisable, off- the-peg creations. To meet demand, new shops were opened abroad - in Paris, the Americas and Australia. The Atkinsons inventory was positively bursting with new fragrances. White rose. English lavender. Royal Briar. The British Bouquet. The Odd Fellow's Bouquet... Then as now, and quite unlike anything anyone has sniffed before or since, each is unconventionally powerful, and unexpectedly vigorous and enduring. They are, we dare say, the very essence of English Fragrance.
The Parfumaria team thinks this scent is a really classy business scent, but a very dark one filled with herbs and aromatic notes. Filled with licorice and earthy notes and at the same time fresh and pleasant. A great scent on a man but of course also suitable for women.
