Burlington 1819

Burlington 1819 by Roja Parfums is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2019 in the luxury price tier. It opens with grapefruit, lime, mandarin, bitter orange and mint, moves into ginger, cinnamon, cumin and saffron and dries down to patchouli, oakmoss, rum, tobacco, cedarwood and ambergris. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.

Heart

Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Dry-down

Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
