What does Scent8 No.300 smell like?
The first few minutes are bright and a little cheeky. Blood mandarin and grapefruit give a juicy, sparkling opening, and a cool flick of mint stops it from feeling sugary.
Then the warmth arrives. Cinnamon and spice move to the front, softened by a touch of rose, so the heart feels festive and confident rather than sharp.
The dry-down is where No.300 earns its place: amber, leather and woody notes that feel smooth and grown-up. It is the stage people notice when you lean in.

Who Scent8 No.300 suits
No.300 is for anyone who likes a fragrance with personality. It is often reached for by men who want something warmer than a fresh blue scent, but there is nothing stopping anyone who loves spice and leather from wearing it.
- You like sweet-spicy warmth rather than sporty freshness.
- You want a going-out scent that still behaves at a desk with one spray.
- You enjoy cinnamon, amber and leather in colder months.
- You prefer full-strength Eau de Parfum so a couple of sprays is enough.
When to wear Scent8 No.300
Warm spicy scents bloom in cool air, which makes No.300 a natural fit for a British autumn and winter.
| Occasion | Sprays | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Friday night out or a party | 2–3 | Cinnamon and leather fill the room without shouting |
| Date night | 2 | Amber base wears close and warm |
| Office in winter | 1 | One spray on the chest keeps it polite |
| Warm summer day | 1, evenings only | Spice can feel heavy in heat |
Spray onto warm skin at the base of the neck, chest or inner wrists and let it dry. Rubbing your wrists together rushes the opening.
How to layer Scent8 No.300
Evening: add tobacco and vanilla
For a richer night-time version, spray No.300 on the neck and one spray of Scent8 No.924 oriental spicy Eau de Parfum on the chest. Tobacco leaf and vanilla deepen the amber and leather.
Daytime: brighten it with citrus and pepper
One spray of Scent8 No.229 woody spicy Eau de Parfum underneath adds orange, grapefruit and pepper, which lifts the mandarin opening and makes No.300 feel fresher for daytime.
Keep it to two or three sprays in total when layering. Both are full-strength Eau de Parfum. Our guide on how to layer fragrance explains the method step by step.
