Late again — at least I am consistent — here is my review of the third and newest fragrance from actor Richard E. Grant, Jack Piccadilly ’69 (for background, do see my reviews of Jack by Jack Perfumes and Jack Covent Garden). It was inspired by the actor’s first visit to Piccadilly Circus in London, and encompasses a number of associated smell memories: the patchouli oil worn by the hippies, the petrol, the Earl Grey tea at Fortnum & Mason, the leather banquettes at his father’s club (also in the notes: ginger, cypriol, green leaves, amber).
Perhaps that sounds, at least potentially, like a hot mess…
