Londoner EC2, from Bex London was released in 2012. The perfumer behind this creation is François Robert. The notes are Amber, Bay Leaf, Cedarwood, Grapefruit, Juniper, Lemon, Lime, Nutmeg, Pepper, Pink Pepper, Tonka Bean, Vetiver.
I'm impressed with this one. The opening was great fresh and something I don't normally detect in the first second or so...that's instant vetiver, clean but raw and a hint of smokiness. EC2 has notes which work amazingly with one another the citrus and juniper berry top notes contrasted with the black pepper. Then the drydown is pure nutmeg, cedar and vetiver. This superb and very reminiscent of Lalique Homme Equus but kinda mixed with the orignal Homme too. This is slightly more refined as you might expect for the higher pricetag. I really like this composition but I think it might be an acquired taste for others. A simple, fresh, woody fragrance that gets a thumbs up from me.
