24 Old Bond Street Triple Extract Tester

Continuing my exploration of the house of Atkinsons brings me to 24 Old Bond Street Triple Extract, the final fragrance from the brand that I currently have the opportunity to experience. The name itself carries historical significance for the house, referencing the original London address where Atkinsons first established its presence in the late eighteenth century. As such, this fragrance feels positioned as a modern tribute to that legacy, suggesting a composition that blends classic British refinement with contemporary polish. On paper, the structure hints at a fragrance built around aromatic freshness, subtle florals, and smooth woody warmth, evoking the image of a well dressed gentleman in an elegant London setting. Let’s see if this intensified interpretation of 24 Old Bond Street truly captures that heritage once it settles onto the skin.

For me, this is a deep, soft and such a suede fragrance. I strongly feel juniper, forest pieces of wood and herbs, against the background of this smokiness and alcohol. Suede is not declared in the fragrance, but I feel it vividly. It's like touching a soft suede jacket with your nose, which smells a bit of smoke, herbs, and there's still a glass of strong alcohol next to it. The fragrance is sexy and enveloping, but it is not a bright sexuality in red and a mini skirt, but such a dark, restrained and alluring. In this fragrance, you want to stop rushing and stop, you want to speak more quietly and just enjoy the moment.

Big fan of the brand Atkinsons and 24 old bond street triple extract has an amazing scent profile. Opening burst of juniper with hints of spice but in all reality this is a heavy tea fragrance done well. Tea fragrances dont have massive projection nor longevity so a powerhouse this is not but its a classic and a joy to wear. Very suitable for the older generation if you ask me and spray on your clothes if you would prefer it to last that little bit longer.

The first few minutes it resembles Cartier Declaration (or a flanker), before finally rose makes its appearance. Followed by cardamom, cedar and black tea. Tried a load of times, but the whiskey just isn't there for me. The dry down is easy on those around you, being a bit too tame all round really. I can't get excited by it despite there being nothing much to dislike. I probably prefer Cartier Declaration at about a quarter the price.

This is a gentle perfume, a skin scent only, but it does last a fair amount of time. It has a nice opening smell - tea, whiskey and juniper and rose. The cedar makes a nice base but the musk tends to be the more dominant smell after the first two hours. It's nice but it doesn't really last and it doesn't really quite capture my heart. It's missing something. I'm glad I tried it but you need something much more special for this price.
