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.

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.
Performance
Attribute | Detail |
---|---|
Longevity | 7 – 9 hours on skin; well over a day on fabric |
Projection | Bright radius for the first 90 minutes, settling to an elegant half-arm’s-length aura |
Best seasons & occasions | Spring through early autumn; executive meetings, smart daywear, refined evenings out |
Character & audience
Timeless suits fragrance lovers drawn to modern fougères or citrus woods who crave extra richness in the dry-down. Picture a sharply tailored suit with a heritage pocket watch—classic codes, but reinterpreted for today. Gender-neutral and office-friendly, yet distinctive enough to garner compliments at dinner.
Comparisons
Fragrance | Key difference |
---|---|
Clive Christian Contemporary | Sweeter mandarin-amber focus; Timeless is crisper and more aromatic. |
MFK Masculin Pluriel | Shares lavender-vetiver cleanliness but lacks Timeless’s zesty citrus lift and leather warmth. |
Creed Bois du Portugal | Richer wood-amber core and heavier projection; Timeless stays brighter, with ginger sparkle. |
Bottom line
Timeless bottles the thrill of a perfectly balanced gin and tonic enjoyed in a leather-clad library—zesty, cool, and quietly luxurious. 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.
