Brutal evolution, I’ve never smelled anything like it. It awakens memories and emotions in a unique way. The ingredients are top quality, smelling of pure luxury. At 100ml it’s far cheaper than other niche brands, but it’s hard to come by.

Exquisite aroma, otherworldly quality, and nobody smells the same. An absolute must-have in my collection.
I never wanted to try Penhaligon’s, but this year it was love at first sniff. I went straight for this instead of the Jusbox Spring Dance.
Incredibly fresh green, like a real gin and tonic. The fig doesn’t fatigue and smells like cucumber. Brilliant. With citrus, lavender, and wood it’s super versatile for the office or events. Gives freshness and elegance, but not for extreme heat. Lasts a bit short and projects well; the price has risen, but the feeling balances it. A wonder that you must own. Edit: for what it costs, it should last longer. Anyway, I wouldn’t buy it solely on price-to-longevity ratio.
Oh my goodness, what a good one! Citrus and menthol opening, lots of round, savoury juniper. The heart recalls Roja’s Elysium, with a creaminess I think is sandalwood and fig. The longevity holds up and is more than enough for a Penhaligon’s. Nothing beats it for the office: versatile, wearable, and elegant. Ideal for spring/summer, but I’ll use it daily all year as a signature. I’ve tried many, but this is my favourite. For me, it’s a 9/10.
I was never a fan of Penhaligon’s, but the sales assistant showed me this and it was a lightning bolt… WOW! One of the most classy scents in the world. It’s like a clean shower with gin and tonic and cardamom vanilla. Smells like the countryside in spring. There are many layers, including an undeclared note of fig milk that gives vegetal sweetness without being cloying. If you like fresh, clean, and green perfumes, try this. Bertrand is a genius.
