by Vivienne Westwood
Anglomania by Vivienne Westwood is a bold, complex floral-leather fragrance with a strikingly distinctive opening of green tea, cardamom, and coriander. It evolves into a rich, warm, and sensual composition where rose, violet, and nutmeg form a soft, powdery heart, balanced by a deep, slightly dry leather base. The vanilla and amber create a smooth, creamy drydown that lingers on the skin, giving the perfume a long-lasting, intimate sillage. While some note its strong spice and sharp green tea top note, others praise its elegant blend of sophistication and edge—describing it as both fashionable and unapologetically feminine. The scent is often compared to a vintage, intimate style, evoking imagery of a hedonistic, intelligent woman with a rebellious streak—like a punk geisha or a fashionable femme fatale. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to feel both elegant and daring, with a highly personal effect based on skin chemistry. Though marketed as unisex, it is primarily worn by women, especially in colder months, and many find it unusually sensual, with a dry, leather-rose core that feels both mysterious and enticing.
