English banker scent

I am looking for a fragrance that exudes the old English banker, for a lack of better word, aura.

From research, it seems that Dunhill 1934 fits the bill. unfortunately, it has been discontinued and it costs too much to buy over the net and ship to this part of the world.

Is there any fragrance that goes the same? Suggestions, please.

For info, the only fragrance I wear now is Aramis Tuscany. Just curious, what you guys think of this.

Thanks.

Tuscany smells very nice. Some may find it to be dated, but if you like it that's good enough.

Alternatives include: Eau Sauvage, Knize Ten, Chanel Pour Monsieur, among others.

Anything from Trumper's, Penhaligon's or Taylor's, especially the lime-y varieties.

Also Dior Eau Sauvage and Hermès Equipage, if they still make it.

Combine them, and you'll smell like a whole wunch of bankers.

I rub money all over myself. It's like an Axe commercial when I walk into a bar!

I prefer using the juice of virgins. They're auctioning that off these days.
