Overall impression

Timeless celebrates the 150-year legacy of the Crown Perfumery with a modern spin on a Victorian cologne: citrus-bright, briskly aromatic, then luxuriously warm. Bitter orange and lime sparkle against ginger’s effervescence before dipping into a clean lavender-mint heart and a plush, leathery amber base. The extrait strength (25 %) gives classic freshness surprising depth and staying power, making Timeless feel both heritage-rich and unmistakably contemporary.

Olfactive pyramid

Scent journey

• Opening (0 – 15 min) – A tonic burst of bitter orange and lime fizzes with ginger and resinous elemi: bright, slightly bitter, and instantly energizing.

• Heart (15 min – 2 h) – Cool peppermint and aromatic lavender create a barbershop-clean accord, while coriander and nutmeg add dry spice. A smooth ribbon of leather slips in, lending sophistication without heaviness.

• Dry-down (2 h +) – Vetiver’s earthy backbone merges with creamy sandalwood, sweet amber, and a soft musk haze. The leather from the heart lingers, giving the base a refined, almost suede-like texture.

Comparisons

Bottom line

If you’re searching for a refined citrus-aromatic with gentlemanly polish and modern longevity, this celebratory extrait delivers a heritage punch that feels anything but old-fashioned.
