I have it: 8 I had it: 1 I want it: 25
English brand Molton Brown adds to their collection Navigations Through Scent a new, limited edition dedicated to the city of London. The eccentric limited edition Londinium, has been launched as an homage to the city full of contradictions, with a scent inspired by street, city style and royal parks, aromas of malt whisky on the rocks and quality of Savile Row suits (street in London known for shops where quality tailored suits can be purchased; street known as ''the golden mine of tailor craft'').
Londinium is actually a blend of the world capital is characteristic for its notes of bergamot and juicy berries in top notes. A heart provides myrrh and green oak moss, while a base encompasses an interesting mixture of incense and malt whisky.
Londinium is available as 50ml, in a flacon shaped just luxurious flacons of Molton Brown from the Navigations Trough Scent collection (with the difference in color of the stopper wrapping sides of the flacon, colored in color of gold this time).
On the tag, below name of the fragrance, you can see coordinates, with name of the collection written underneath. Londinium was launched in 2012.

This is balmy, woody, citrusy, and sweet. I liked it when I smelled it. Great for night time use. It would be nice if it came in an intense version. Good quality perfume. Try it.
I happily accepted a sample of Londinium from the sales lady as I hoped this uni-sex scent would be my answer to the question, "What perfume could I wear that would be appropriate and attractive on a woman and not be floral?" Having doused myself liberally with the scent and spending a few hours in it, I can say it's definitely quite overtly undoubtedly masculine. So, while I am still catching whiffs of Londiniym on myself, all I can do is pretend I deliberately borrowed my lover's cologne to feel him near me while he's away on a long business trip. Ahhh...
To me Londinium is a lighter version of Gucci Pour Homme II. Of course, the whiskey note is no more than pure marketing. Or maybe whyskey is the same as tea in Gucci? I feel tobacco in the base with a beautiful fruitiness around.
Gucci Pour Homme II is still in the shops, so I don't find a reason to buy Londinium as it is 3 times more expensive.
I had the chance to try Londinium in London,I really like the name by the way!There's a huge blast of whiskey coming out of the bottle when you first spray it,I don't get oakmoss or berries but yes,I do get a small dose of myrrh. Well,it's mostly about whiskey and myrrh to me.I would call it 'Scotch with ice'.My only BIG complaint is the lasting power and the weakness,it becomes weak more and more until it fades..It's such a pity because it starts so promising.If you're having issues with longevity maybe you should get a sample first and see on your own..Overall,I think that it's a safe scent,you can't go wrong with it or dislike it.
I have a sample of Londinium and I think it's really nice. It opens with red berries and bergamont and gets mossy due to the big dollop of oakmoss. With this is the incense/ myrhh mixing in gives the fragrance a mossy resinous feel, the whisky note seems to be blended really well with the red berry accord which is quite prominent. And it is quite refreshing especially in the opening.
As time progresses the berry note recedes and you are left with a mossy incense accord on your skin. The only thing is that it stays quite close to you and the projection could be better. But I like this a lot it is really nice and does not overwhelm, the oakmoss adds a lot to this fragrance.
This is a limited edition, and although skeptical at first, I really like this! Credited as a uni-sex fragrance I do really struggle to see the appeal to the ladies here. It's a woody, leather smelling musky scent, that is actually well balanced, and very easy to wear. Smells very masculine to me, and the tobacco note is glorious! Imagine leather chairs, and a oldy worldy smoke filled genteleman's club. Really rather pleasant. Do snap it up before it disappears.
