Fragrantica - "What an exceptional fragrance! Burlington 1819 opens up with a tart, slightly rhindy, photorealistic graprefruit note that is unlike any other grapefruit opening I have ever experienced in a fragrance. Slightly sweet with a beautiful ginger, spicy, (slightly boozy), musky and woody dry down. Expertly crafted and blended to be super smooth, this is the one... at first sniff I knew a full bottle was in my future and it has become my signature scent. Great for the office, a date night or a night out with friends, Burlington 1819 can be ultra classy and effortlessly cool and casual all at the same time... 11/10 (yes it's that good) full bottle worthy."
Fragrantica - "This opens with a blast of mint and grapefruit that’s cool, sharp, and clean. It smells very sophisticated, leaning mature, probably best for an older gentleman who’s confident in his style.
As it dries down, the scent turns rich and warm, with ambergris and rum taking over. Some spices and tobacco far in the background. There’s an intriguing, almost animalic undertone, something slightly sweaty, but in that sensual way that adds depth rather than takes away from the beauty. It’s provocative, not polite. The bottle looks amazing, classic Roja bottle that’s very high-end. It doesn’t project loudly, more of a skin scent. But it lasts a long time, easily all day or night. Feels perfect for a fancy dinner on a cruise in Greece with some drinks. Classy, bold, has a sparkling affect without smelling carbonated, and has a sexy and mysterious side to it that is extremely intriguing."
Fragrantica - "The opening smells like old money, but when the cumin comes out it makes me smell like a hard working peasant who havent took a bath for a week."
Fragrantica - "Opens very citrusy, sharp grapefruit with a subtle bitter orange and mint note. The dry down definitely holds more ginger than rum but the uplifting citrus never fades. With a base of cedar and slight oak moss coming through. There is nothing that resembles this, the craftsmanship with Roja is undoubtedly/quality is undoubtedly evident in this creation. One of a kind you should definitely keep an eye out for. The notes seem like something you have seen before but I promise you nothing comes close to this. A forever staple in my collection one I would replace before it was even near empty. If you live in a warmer climate this is a blind buy in my opinion."
Fragrantica - "I've yet to put my nose to something at amazing as Burlington 1819. It's gotten me wanted to explore me fresh citrus scents. Burlington is much more than that. I love that it has 0 sweetness. The bitter/tart citrus with the touch of booze really feels the air. Done with such high quality oils. In the spring and summer I have to force myself to wear other fragrances. 24 hours after trying the sample I had a full bottle otw!"
