Traditional by Hugh Parsons opens with a bright splash of tart lemon and juicy mandarin orange, paired with crushed green leaves and tangy currant buds that give off the crisp feeling of a dew-covered garden. As the bright citrus settles after about twenty minutes, the fragrance shifts into a brisk aromatic heart of juniper berries, crushed black pepper, and spicy cardamom. This spicy herbal blend feels clean, crisp, and bracing rather than heavy. In the dry-down, a solid foundation of cedar, smooth sandalwood, and salty ambergris takes over, giving the scent a grounded woody backbone that sticks close to the skin for hours. It smells like clean luxury bar soap mixed with pine woods and fresh citrus peel, making it a reliable pick for warm spring mornings and sunny afternoons. Show less
