Oh, a rare and complex perfume. I was told it has an ironing effect, and I share that: that hot steam over fabrics. It has many metallic notes, though not as obvious as lemon; I associate metallic with something cold and distant, and here it is subtle. In this modernist take on the fougère, you can detect the hidden lavender and a more present oakmoss, but with so many nuances and shifts, it does not bore the younger generation. At the start, there is an ozonic freshness and sweet beeswax that fits well, although the freshness tends to fade quickly. A leather note enters, which I am not a fan of, alongside woods. Later, things relax and a faint honey appears by surprise, along with the usual (oakmoss and that ironing accord which could be lavender and metals, I am not sure). If that were not enough, I detect a floral note which other lists identify as cyclamen, though I am not certain. It is a rare bird and an experience to analyse; later you may or may not fall in love with it; it has not won me over. Regarding performance, I thought it would be poor due to its low profile, but it lasts around 10 hours or more.
Sartorial by Penhaligon’s: the essence of the English Gentleman in a bottle. A true gem from the barbershop world, signed by Bertrand Duchaufour. It is a perfect example that in perfumery, it is not always the composition that fails, but rather the execution and the quality of the ingredients. Why do I hate Brut and adore Sartorial? I tried both: people say Brut smells like an old man, but Sartorial provokes a ‘mmm, delicious’ and smells like my grandparents’ house. The opening is identical to Faberge’s Brut, but within seconds, the quality surpasses the olfactory memory. We appreciate lavender in all its splendour with light metallic notes, followed by oakmoss which dominates the heart, softened by beeswax, honey, tonka bean, vanilla, and refreshing ginger. Then come flashes of thick patchouli, cardamom, and cedar, creating a spiced touch. The dry down of myrrh, amber, and musk adds depth, while neroli returns us to the classic freshness of the barbershop. At times, it reminds me of the earthy freshness of Amouage’s Bracken Man. It promises much! The projection is excellent and the bottle is simply beautiful and classic. Ideal for the office or serious affairs. Recommended for cooler climates.
Total barbershop fragrance, like entering a classy, elegant barbershop with woods, but everything modernised. It is in no way old-fashioned. It is a mix of luxury shaving creams with a honey frame around it. Very few recreate the barbershop scent like Sartorial. Without excessive projection, its longevity confuses and can seem as if it doesn’t last, yet it does last hours. It leaves a short trail, and whoever approaches will think you have just stepped out of the shower and had a good shave and haircut. I don’t know to what extent women will like it, as it is a scent ‘between men’s things’. Nevertheless, every man will like it and identify it as ‘this gentleman has had a VERY good recent shave’.
As well said before me, a perfume that conveys elegance and cleanliness. It opens with a medley of notes where, for me, lavender and the sweetness of honey stand out. An excellent example of how to create something new on old foundations. What has surprised me most is its longevity, greater than average for this type of fragrance; I can still detect the scent on skin without problem after many hours.
Another scent from Penhaligon’s that, without reinventing the wheel, has a ‘I know it smells really good’ quality and, following the house’s ABC, is elegant. It is a honeyed lavender but not a sweet, floral, green, mossy… it has an endless number of nuances. You can perceive the quality and care Penhaligon’s puts into every fragrance tested. The performance is not very high and the price is there. I feel something metallic (or I want to feel it when I declare it) and spices. As a whole, it denotes elegance without being invasive, cleanliness that dresses but is not for everyday use; it smells like a classic scent but not old. It is a very good proposal; what escapes me is the price-to-performance ratio. I do not want it to buzz more, but I miss greater longevity as after a few hours it feels skin-scented. Still, it is a very interesting option. It does not move well in hot or extremely cold periods. For formal occasions or office days to feel good. More masculine.
More of a Penhaligon’s scent than one that reinvents the wheel, it has a ‘I know’ factor and smells really well, following the house’s ABC. It is an honeyed lavender but not sweet, floral, green, mossy… it has endless nuances. The quality and care of Penhaligon’s are noticeable. The performance isn’t very high and the price is there. I sense something metallic (or upon declaring it, I want to feel it) and spices. Overall, it denotes elegance without being invasive, a cleanliness that dresses you but not in a utilitarian way, smelling of classic but not old. It is a very good proposal, although I lose track of the price-to-performance ratio. I don’t want it to buzz more, but I miss greater longevity, as after a few hours it feels skin-scent only. Still, it is a very interesting option. It doesn’t move well in extreme heat or intense cold. For formal occasions or office days to feel good. More masculine.
Simply, for me, this is the Holy Grail of perfumery, the end of the road. I say it as clearly as that. To my taste, the best makeup on a woman is that which is not worn or not noticed. Sartorial is exactly that: it doesn’t smell like perfume. It smells like super-clean clothes. It smells SO beautiful, SO clean, SO cosy, that people won’t know if you’re wearing perfume or if you are the cleanest person in the world. People will wonder if you showered with waters from the springs of Zeus’s daughters or if your clothes were washed by a choir of archangels. It is the olfactory expression of an obsession with cleanliness.

I love it. It is one of those perfumes that I feel the need to wear always. As a lover of fougères, I say it is a modern reinvention of a classic style, much like Tom Ford did with Beau de Jour (for me, one of the best current fougères). The opening is explosive, spicy, and slightly citrusy. There is something aniseed about it, though it is not declared. The dry down goes to the classic concept of the style, on the same wavelength as Loewe Pour Homme but without such a citrus load and very similar to Azzaro Pour Homme, yet more refined and less sweet. The longevity is good, over 8 hours. There are moments when it seems it is not there, but it remains. The pleasure of putting it on straight after a shower is a delight. A very modern classic.

Sophistication and neatness… a masterpiece. This is the seventh art. I love it because it is so subtle and pleasant that it feels like your own body scent, but that of an angel or a god from Olympus. All the notes are well-gear-ed; I perceive a honeyed fougère thanks to the honey. I advise perfume lovers to try it once in their life.

British subtlety is something very special, much like Sartorial. Delicately spiced, it possesses an elegance and dry lightness that leaves a subtle mark. I believe they took great care in its creation to ensure no ingredient altered the structure. The result is masterful: the fragrance pyramid has a certain risk with cardamom, ginger, pepper, violet, patchouli, and myrrh… it’s easy to fail, but not here. It is a breath of old-time masculinity and elegance adapted for today. From the start, it impresses with its coordinated and unusual concept, a fine note that blends with an earthy nuance. As it develops, the violet complements a subtle mentholated sweetness. The pepper is used with mastery, enhancing the heart without falling into powdery notes. The play of textures is brilliant: fabric, paper, leather, wax… it evokes craftsmanship at cutting tables and ironing machines. It recalls exquisite manners of past decades. It is a mature fragrance that doesn’t feel outdated or boring, but it lacks a bit of presence.
A wonderful fougère with a sweet honey twist that makes it irresistible. After trying a decant, I decided to buy it in under five minutes, choosing it over other options. It’s clean, elegant, neat, and comforting. It is a must-try. Edit one month later: pity the longevity and projection. I wore it at 12 o’clock with over 10 sprays, and by 4 o’clock it was barely noticeable. It’s true that one can’t expect it to be overpowering, but there are EDTs that perform better, and this isn’t cheap… it’s a shame because I love the scent.
Sartorial changes my mood. I only wear it on cold days when I want to look serious and contemplative; otherwise, it bothers me. It smells nostalgic, like old-school cleanliness, reminiscent of the smell of my childhood home when I was with my grandparents. It’s a clean scent, lavender-based, with a metallic touch and a sweet note… it’s not fresh but not heavy either, smelling of impeccably freshly ironed clothes. It’s brilliant because it evokes memories, it’s a journey. Furthermore, it is a Penhaligon’s best seller that best honours the brand’s aesthetic (unfortunately, English Fern no longer exists). By the way, I don’t understand the comparison with Brut; to me, they have nothing in common 🤷
Sartorial is a perfume that changes my mood. I only use it on cold days when I am usually serious, serene, and contemplative; if not, it does not fit me. It is a nostalgic perfume that smells of old-school tidiness, an era that smelled, from the sidelines, when I was small in my grandparents’ houses. It is a scent of cleanliness, lavenders, a touch of metallic and sweet… it is not fresh but not heavy; it smells of super clean clothes steaming after ironing with product. It is a very good scent because it EVOKES things; it is a journey. It is also a best seller from Penhaligon’s because I believe THIS is the one that pays the most homage to the brand’s aesthetic (unfortunately, English Fern was discontinued). By the way, I do not understand the comparison with Brut; they do not seem similar to me 🤷
A classic, high-quality scent that is very neat and elegant. The only drawback is that it projects almost nothing. I understand that one doesn’t expect such a perfume to make a loud statement, but it should at least be noticeable. Otherwise, it’s all positive. I recommend it for spring or autumn; it gets lost in winter, and there are better options for summer.
