The opening is a watered down version of Beaufort's infamous birch tar. Once it dry down, it reminds me a lot of BPAL Cathedral, it is almost the same dry incense henceforth. The longer I wear it, the more I get the same woody vibe from Serge Lutens L'orpheline, as if the two of them were layered. As I own both perfumes I mentioned earlier, it is not my best interest to purchase a full size bottle. Such a shame since Terror and Magnificence is most likely to be my cup of tea judging by the notes.
By the way, the longevity of L'orpheline is marvelous while Cathedral required a heavy handed application and does not project as far as Terror and Magnificence.
Our beloved barbecue place birch tar! Here it come and here it goes, leaving a trail of smoke. Definitely more tame than Tonnere, dries to a gentleman's tea leaves and rich, delicious whisky scent, with the reminiscent of rugged leathery bacon savory tobacco and opium. If Tonnere is too intense with its birch tar, this may be a less invasive and just as memorable replacement. It reminds me a lot of the "it's just good business" guy in Pirates of the Caribbean, a lot. in short, posh guy hanging out with a bunch of pirates.
Ah, a delightful pirate inspired perfume. It introduced itself as salty sea air, then dry woody notes, spices and perhaps lemon start to emerge. It is overall very dry and fairly inoffensive in terms of how violent Beaufort scents have been.
It is definitely the more wearable, very wearable scent Beaufort offered, but it does not stand out to me as much. It does not evoke an image as much as the other scents from Beaufort London I have tried.
A nice niche perfume nevertheless. For those who seek more of a gentleman's scent from start to finish. Unlike Iron Duke who started off as a more formal gentleman's scent and dries to the most sexy dirty leather scent...
Track of the day: Pirates of the Carribean - Prague Cello Quartet
