Why We Love It:

I fell in love with Penhaligon’s Legacy of Petra as soon as I smelled it at the UK launch. Beautifully inviting with a lightly spicy, tarry quality. It oozes sensuality, with a woody warmth and just a touch of sweetness.

Projection is fairly intimate after a while… but that’s okay when it smells this good. And performance is moderate.

Info from the Brand:
“A scent of warm desert winds and golden amber sands define Petra. A vivacious performance by fennel is herbaceous yet sweet whilst bright bergamot is complimented with a fragrant trail of nostalgic green tea. But the leading star is undoubtedly myrrh. ​”

Why We Love It:
Refined and sharp, just like a Saville Row suit, Penhaligon’s Sartorial is the perfect addition to any man’s fragrance wardrobe.

To me, this is very much a business ‘deal, deal, deal’ fragrance. It’s commanding without being aggressive; and premium but without being flashy. It really should be part of the ‘Beginner’s Guide To Business’ starter pack.

Why We Love It:
The opening of Penhaligon’s Lothair is both exciting and comforting. A blend of citrus (bergamot and grapefruit) perfectly compliments the cooling spice of cardamom and the winter warmth of red berries. The fig both in the top (as fig leaf) and heart (fig milk) gives Lothair are wonderfully woody, yet meaty, weight.

Lothair is distinctive and elegant. Not one for those who like to fade into the background.

Why We Love It:
A mature citrus fragrance, Penhaligon’s Juniper Sling is much like the perfect gin and tonic – refreshing and thirst-quenching. Ginny juniper notes playfully dance with cooling cardamom and black pepper – giving this fragrance a spirited yet distinguished finish.

It’s just as easily worn in summer as it is in winter.

Info from the Brand:
“Anyone for gin? A juniper burst of freshness. Teasing angelica and black pepper. Warm spice and warm hearts. This eau de toilette is a complex cocktail. Better make it a double”.

Penhaligon’s Quercus is a clean, herbaceous, citrus blast. With an opening of lemon, lime, mandarin and bergamot, the fragrance is lively and outgoing.

It’s very much a unisex scent, with a slightly floral heart mixed with just a dash of spice. The base of sandalwood, musk and amber has a stronger grounding and makes Quercus much more wearable fragrance than it’s initial opening.
