The Impudent Cousin Matthew
Matthew is never far from trouble-the naughty to his sister's nice. His eau de parfum reveals an unexpected pedigree, as fresh, sparkling mandarin strides gallantly forth from woody depths.

My personal favourite
C. Matthew is my personal favourite. I had a blind fragrance test in the Burlington arcade (sadly missed) and was instantly hooked. I can't believe it's going to be discontinued. I have Helen, Sam, Teddy and a few of the classic range, but Matthew beats them all hands down. I had so many unforgettable nights wearing it
Amazing
Received my order today Wow intoxicating smell, love it so elegant and I have to say this will always now be my one stop shop for perfume. Just love it.
Invigorating and classy
This was love-at-first-sniff for me. It is a citrus fragrance that opens freshly and dazzling with mandarin and then transitions to a middle of petitgrain which is very breezy, vibrant and slightly bitter. Earthy patchouli creates a rich and deep base. When I wear cousin Matthew, it makes me feel energised and uplifted, it really completes me. Very elegant, discreet and modern. A winner for any sunny spring day or if you are looking for a refreshing, bright and sophisticated scent.
