Gold Medal

The crisp clarity of a London street on a brisk autumn day, where the scent of bergamot and neroli mingles with the faint musk of old-world charm.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Gold Medal by Atkinsons, launched in 1878, is a classic cologne that embodies the natural harmony of citruses and has been celebrated for its lasting elegance. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of bergamot, followed by the delicate floral touch of neroli, and settles into a musky base that adds depth and warmth. This composition was rewarded with a golden medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1878, solidifying its place as an enduring staple in perfumery.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The bright top notes are most effective in cooler weather, so layer it with a light jacket or wrap during warmer months.
