Penhaligons

The Scent Experience

• The Audacious Opening: It starts with a punchy dose of black pepper that feels "rebellious." The orange blossom is subtle, providing just enough light to prevent the spice from being overwhelming.

• The Smoky Core: The incense and saffron create a "mysterious" and "regal" aura. It feels very high-end and niche, fitting for your London Niche collection.

• The Dry Down: This is where the perfume truly earns its name. The combination of leather and vanilla creates a "velvety" texture—think of a vintage leather chair in a room filled with sweet tobacco and expensive oud.

Vibe & Performance

• Personality: Strong, confident, and unapologetic. It is a "power" fragrance.

• Longevity: Excellent. Being part of the Portraits collection, it is an Eau de Parfum with high concentration and impressive sillage (trail).

• Best For: Winter, autumn, and formal evening events. It is a unisex fragrance that leans slightly more masculine due to the heavy leather and pepper.
