I always hunt for top-tier perfumes and have my own collection. As a seller, I prioritise quality and always test before recommending. I tried the Ellenisia fragrance from Penhaligon’s: it opens with mandarin, violet, jasmine, gardenia and rose, an incredible explosion. We tested it on four people to rule out pH issues, but after 30 minutes it had vanished completely, leaving a very weak and thin trail. It’s a shame because it smells divine at first, yet it’s deeply disappointing; it feels like perfumers are playing a trick, making it smell rich initially before it turns into mere scent water.
