Thameen London is a relatively new luxury British perfume house which released their first scent in 2013. The best Thameen fragrances for men fuse striking notes of resins, wood and spices with fresh fruits and manly florals.
The brand takes inspiration from precious jewels and minerals, creating a formidable collection of over 30 fragrances that dares to be different. The Thameen discovery set provides a great introduction to what’s on offer.
5 Of The Best Thameen Fragrances For Men
After a pleasant in-store visit to Selfridges in London, here is my take on the best smelling Thameen fragrances for men.
1. Thameen Cullinan Diamond Extrait de Parfum
Review
Thameen Cullinan Diamond Extrait de Parfum is a decadent musky male fragrance with a powdery edge. It’s inspired by the majestic Cullinan Diamond, the largest cut diamond in history.
A peppery opening is soon boosted by a heart of powdery orris, rose, and a splash of vanilla. As this fragrance dries down, it becomes musky and incredibly manly.
Settles to a unique powdery/musky scent with spices and floral hints and does not compare to any other scent I can think ok. Very classy indeed.
Cullinan Diamond Extrait de Parfum is a versatile fragrance that’s ideal for autumn/winter and the chillier days of spring. Equally wearable day or night, it’s more of a formal fragrance.
This Extrait de Parfum concentration performs well and will last 6+ hours. Does not project massively as it’s more of a slow burn, but certainly noticeable.
Top Notes:
Black Pepper
Mid Notes:
Rose, Orris, Vanilla
Base Notes:
Musk, Cedar, Amber

2. Thameen Regent Leather Extrait de Parfum
Review
Thameen Regent Leather Extrait de Parfum is a luxuriously warm fragrance that emulates the richness of leather. It was created by the brand in association with the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Club. Fancy!
The opening is warm and welcoming, with spiced saffron, cardamom, and jasmine, brightened by a hint of rose and lemon. Vanilla also becomes noticeable but not overly sweet. It is supported by rich resins, wood and musk that provide a leather vibe.
This is an expensive smelling stylish men’s fragrance that is well worth adding to your collection. Check out my review of Tom Ford Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum for the perfect leather fragrance.
For me, this is an any-season fragrance that can be worn day or night during autumn/winter and evenings during spring and summer. It’s an easy to wear scent that is effortlessly classy.
Longevity is 5+ hours with decent sillage and projection. You don’t need to overspray as it starts off light then projects more after an hour or so.
Top Notes:
Lemon
Mid Notes:
Saffron, Cardamom, Jasmine, Rose
Base Notes:
Vanilla, Patchouli, Cedar, Labdanum, Musk

3. Thameen Royal Sapphire Extrait de Parfum
Review
Thameen Royal Sapphire Extrait de Parfum is a sublime blend of warm meets refreshing and was inspired by the decadence of the British Royal crown jewels.
A fresh opening of sweet orange and sharper bergamot bleeds into a heart of orange blossom and jasmine that leans feminine to my nose. The heart unleashes masculine warmth and spice with rich amber, wood and moss notes working so well with the fresh citrus opening.
Settles to a luxurious contrast of warmth and freshness. Also, consider reading my Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir Eau de Parfum review is it’s quite smiliar.
I would wear this fragrance all year round and to pretty much any event, casual or formal. It would also make a great office scent.
I managed to get 7+ hours of wear from Royal Sapphire Extrait de Parfum with good sillage and projection. An expensive fragrance but the price/performance is good.
Top Notes:
Mandarin, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Orange Blossom, Jasmine
Base Notes:
Grey Amber, Moss, Dry Wood, Patchouli

4. Thameen Green Pearl Eau de Parfum
Review
Based on the precious mineral that glows in the dark, Thameen Green Pearl Eau de Parfum is a strikingly green and fresh male fragrance that will keep you feeling shower-fresh for the entire day.
A vivid opening of crisp apple and sharp citrus awake the senses, with neroli softening the initial sharp edges. The heart of this fragrance is green, with notes of tea and artemisia being spiced with pepper. Dry-down of light musk and moss lingers but never overpowers.
Perfect for spring and summer wear, Thameen Green Pearl Eau de Parfum is ideal for chilled brunches, running errands, post-gym, and even office wear.
Regarding price/performance, this fragrance is a bargain. You can expect 6+ hours of longevity with punchy projection, which is incredible for a green scent. Lasts longer than its closest rival, Creed Silver Mountain Water Eau de Parfum.
Top Notes:
Apple, Bergamot, Neroli, Mandarin
Mid Notes:
Tea, Artemisia, Pepper
Base Notes:
Musk, Oakmoss, Tonka Bean

5. Thameen Sceptre Eau de Parfum
Review
Thameen Sceptre Eau de Parfum is a refined blend of resins, spices, fruits and floral notes that projects a confident male vibe.
The opening of this fragrance is spicy, with pepper, cloves and coriander all jostling for your attention. The heart reveals lush peach and exotic ylang-ylang that instantly feels expensive. A warm, resinous base of myrrh and amber are enriched with manly ambergris.
This beauty should be reserved for autumn/winter and is one of those plush fragrances that you will look forward to wearing for slightly dressier evenings. Similar to Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense Eau de Parfum.
The performance of Sceptre Eau de Parfum is excellent, and it lasted 8+ hours on my skin projecting at arm’s length. Could still smell it on me the following day after a shower.
Top Notes:
Pink Pepper, Coriander, Madagascar Cloves
Mid Notes:
Peach, Ylang-Ylang, Wisteria, Patchouli
Base Notes:
Somali Myrrh, Ambergris, Amber, Siam Benzoin
