Oxford – Eau de Parfum

Roberto Ugolini – a Florentine bespoke shoemaker who has been translating his leather craft into concentrated fragrances since 2019.

Oxford smells crisp, spicy and quietly woody: grapefruit and orange open bitter-fresh, black and pink pepper meet geranium leaf at the heart, before cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli and styrax settle into a warm, understated base.

Oxford works year-round, day or night – a unisex signature scent for anyone who wants classic elegance without raising their voice, the natural match to a well-cut suit.

For us, Oxford captures exactly what Roberto Ugolini's shoes are about: restrained craft over grand gestures – the pepper is present but never pushy, as understated as a perfectly polished black Oxford shoe itself. You can smell that restraint for yourself at SNUD in Vienna.

What else might I like if I like Oxford?

If you love Oxford's woody-spicy core, Les Eaux Primordiales' Cèdre Superfluide offers an equally reduced, cedar-forward take worth discovering.
