Penhaligon's — The Tragedy of Lord George
What it smells like on skin
Read the full scent story
Warm, boozy, lightly sweetened woods, from the Portraits series with the stag's head on the cap.
Brandy up front. Woods and tonka bean underneath, with amber giving it a soft resinous glow. It is linear — what you smell at fifteen minutes is roughly what you get at four hours — and it is comfortable rather than exciting.
Penhaligon's Portraits collection tells a story across the whole range: a cast of characters, each with a fragrance and a scandal. Lord George is the one who gambled.
Autumn and winter, and very easy to wear.
