Oh my goodness! If you’re looking for something ‘modern’, stop reading… Master Morillas has outdone himself with this masterpiece. (Apologies to those who hate such expressive reviews; I simply write what I feel). When I thought of a Penhaligon’s fragrance, I imagined something of high quality, sober, elegant, delicious, retro and classic, perhaps dark and nostalgic. As a self-fulfilling prophecy, it is all that and more. 100% masculine, 1000% quality and 10,000% exquisiteness. If it weren’t for the sweet touch, it would fall into spicy woody territory due to the tonka bean and wood blend, but that amber, brandy-like liquoriness places it firmly as a true oriental. It is already my favourite of the brand (having yet to try others). Nothing youthful, more rather lordly (ideal for gentlemen over 35). Perfect for temperate or cold climates, not for a frock coat, but for smart casual. What intrigues me most is the dry-down: that typical Mediterranean touch from Morillas emerges from just four notes; are there hidden notes? Between ourselves, without the 18,500 perfumers on the web knowing, it smells very similar to Guerlain L’Homme L’Eau Boisée. Take care, it’s just a first impression on the dry-down. It is as dark as the finest vetiver you could wish for. A masterpiece! Offend those who can be offended; I write with my heart on my sleeve. Like the ancient Egyptians, I think first with my heart and then with my brain. PS: A nod to my friend Portia, who sent me this set with the four new Penhaligon’s fragrances from Australia. And a special thanks to Peluzin, who for a long time spoke highly of this British brand and whose opinions have come true with this marvel. Peluzin, you remain my ‘nose’ at a distance, many thanks, and we continue to agree on our perfumery opinions.
Exquisite fragrance. In my opinion, this creates a huge difference between a good perfume and a perfume that is simply elegant in capital letters.
What a delicious scent! Pure masculinity, elegantly over the top, addictive and sexy. If you’re a handsome, mature, class-conscious man who wants to turn heads, run out and buy the biggest bottle of Lord George by Penhaligon’s, wear it every day and enjoy the ride.
What a delicious fragrance! Masculine to the max, elegantly over the top, addictive, sexy and dark. If you are a handsome, mature man who wants to impress the ladies, run out and buy the biggest bottle of Lord George by Penhaligon’s, wear it daily and enjoy your stride.
I was obsessed with this fragrance for a good while… and I idealised it quite a bit. It does not have the longevity I look for nor the projection I like… The scent? Very good… very elegant. If the amber notes are perceived, vanilla-like and fortified. In the fortified aspect it vaguely reminds me of CH Privé. In the spiced vanilla aspect it reminds me of Hugo Boss bottle in its opening notes. It works as close to the skin as this fragrance does. It goes and appears suddenly. Totally inoffensive. Most people will not notice it nor will they say anything about it. If you happen to be in an environment where someone gives you a sincere compliment about this fragrance, do everything necessary so you do not lose sight of it for the rest of your days. For a night out with that person who gave you a compliment to an elegant restaurant where there is no escape from kitchen smells? Very good!! For going early to a meeting where you meet with members of the Government Body to discuss the distribution of the annual budget? Perfect. For going to do your aerobic exercise routine in the nearest park before dawn? I loved it. In what other situations can you use it? I will continue to inform you.
A good fragrance by the standards of what the perfume fashion demands. A warm, intoxicating perfume, loaded with sensuality. Elegant, dark, interesting and very enjoyable for the first half hour. The next hour you will have to go looking little by little for the scent on your skin and in two hours it will have passed away. It is a pity the short longevity and projection.
It is a fragrance that delivers well on what is currently sought in fashion. It smells warm, intoxicating and very sensual, elegant and dark, interesting and very enjoyable for the first half-hour. Then you have to go looking for the scent on your skin gradually, and by two hours it has already disappeared. It’s a pity that the longevity and projection are so short.
I am 43 years old and since I was 14 I have been crazy about perfumes; in my experience either the bottle is beautiful, or the scent is beautiful, or it lasts a long time; well, this one is all of the above and more, it is my second favourite perfume, it lasts a thousand hours on skin, on clothes for days, the perfume cap is beautiful and made of super heavy metal and most importantly the scent is so simple and beautiful at the same time, lavender sweetened by tonka bean. Every time I use it everyone is delighted. Super, super recommended.
Reviewed fragrance batch: 83331. Production date: 2018-11-29. Review based on my first impression two hours after launching the fragrance and applying it to skin. As my friend Pedro Gil says, although the house does not declare it, at the start one can feel a pronounced lavender. Perhaps this is so because of the combination of all its notes which come out all at once at the beginning and none of them is fully defined. When this first impact passes, it is when all the declared notes begin to define themselves. A scent of wet wood and a very resinous amber is what we can feel (almost stings the nose); suddenly that creamy sweetness contributed by the tonka bean and a slight fortified touch appear, making a set an elegant British aroma (conservative elegance). Perhaps this last combination of notes and chords can make us think of a vanilla scent, but no. Ideal fragrance for cold and humid climates. Right now where I live it has been raining non-stop for several weeks and I feel very comfortable with it. As it is a first impression I cannot talk about its performance. Although at first I can tell you that I applied the scent to my hand and when I am walking I can perfectly perceive its aroma. This fragrance and its story transport me to my trip to northern Scotland with those castles with large halls with walls full of big game hunting trophies and a large fireplace with burning logs. It is a fragrance I have liked very much. And although it is not a challenging scent that is hard to understand… beyond my personal tastes and due to its high retail price, I find it difficult to recommend the purchase of this fragrance to a person who is not a collector or has tried it before.
Fragrance from batch 83331, produced in November 2018. Review based on my first impression two hours after first wearing it on skin. As Pedro Gil says, although he does not declare it, a well-marked lavender is noticeable at the opening. Perhaps it is because at the start all the notes come out at once and none define themselves well. When this initial impact passes, it is when the ingredients begin to define themselves. A scent of wet wood and a very resinous amber (almost stinging the nose), then suddenly that creamy sweetness of the tonka bean and a slight brandy touch make an elegant and conservative British ensemble.

This fragrance and its story transport me to my trip to northern Scotland, with those castles, large halls, walls full of hunting trophies and a fireplace with burning logs. I have liked it very much.

A fragrance of authentic luxury. A masculine aroma elevated to the nth degree of class. Imagine a Lord from the 19th century sitting in his garden, next to a tree whose trunk aromatises a crystal flask opened from where a subtle liquor scent emanates, not as rough as Bentley for Men, much more restrained, suitable to take with a paste for a lady; even more so if we add the faint sweetness, nothing cloying, of a tonka bean that completes the olfactory picture. If it carries lavender, it is masterfully polished; the woods are not too dry, neither white nor excessively dark; the fortified note is very, very measured but present; and the sweetness of the tonka bean is apt for diabetics. Everything in this fragrance is measured in detail; Morillas has fine-tuned with the brush to offer a fragrance of olfactory quality on par with the best. Six hours on skin, without being invasive but marking territory, ideal for winter, autumn and even spring; it is not a Dior Homme Parfum; the Penhaligon’s one admits more occasions of use, it could even result in being somewhat sensual, yes, according to the canons of the romantic century. If Enigma by Roja is the semi-alcoholised bohemian, this Penhaligon’s is the adult man capable of controlling his emotions with a single glass in hand. I see it as more appropriate for men from 30 years onwards, absolutely not vintage, but very elegant. And as always, try before you buy, because tastes in scents vary.
It is probably my favourite perfume. It is elegant, attractive, masculine, neat and different. First, one must consider that I am a 30-year-old man who enjoys youthful fragrances for many aspects of my life and intense, masculine ones for others, and honestly, I find in this cocktail the perfect balance. It is a distinct expression; it reminds me of the barbershop my grandfather took me to when I was a child. It has very clean nuances in the opening: white moss, amber and something that smells of shaving soap. It has very subtle sweet, vanilla-like notes, tonka bean, toffee and very roasted coffee, perhaps caramelised roast. A sense of alcohol, like cognac or therry, predominates, persisting for hours without reaching the alcoholic ketosis that makes you look like a drunkard, as in many younger profiles. It has very balanced wood, tobacco nuances like pipe wood and fresh notes like drying leaves that wet with rain. It is round from start to finish, it does not evolve much, but from my perspective it is practically perfect from the beginning. I only find two important problems: the longevity (which, to my taste, is even too limited; the fixative needs work) and the price. It is a perfume I can wear two or three times a day in autumn and winter, and literally you are pulverising euros.
According to the brand, it smells like shaving foam and hot rum, and it is exactly that but with more substance. The opening is potent, very woody and aromatic. I lack clear notes: I detect lavender, perhaps rosemary? cedar? It is fresh but classic, brandy-like yet youthful, everything very well measured and balanced. I will not go into further detail because the two previous reviews explain it perfectly. It is extremely masculine without falling into the ‘macho’ trap. It is true that the performance leaves much to be desired, but I admit that that sweet wood clinging to the skin is irresistible. As the Portraits series is very severe and aristocratic, George is the youngest gentleman’s perfume, thanks to those green and clean touches and its moderate projection; it seems versatile for all ages and seasons. To my taste, it is a little too clean and… perfect. I don’t know, George is a good boy and I tend towards darker, more intense perfumes. Despite not being my choice of Penhaligon’s, I encourage you to smell it just to appreciate the mastery it emanates.
As described, The Tragedy of Lord George smells of shaving foam and warm rum. It is exactly that and much more. The opening is potent, as woody as it is aromatic. There are undoubtedly some undeclared notes: I detect lavender, perhaps rosemary? Cedar? It is fresh yet classic, fortified yet youthful… Everything is measured to perfection, an exquisitely balanced fragrance. I won’t delve deeper as previous reviews explain it perfectly. Summament masculine without falling into the clichés of ‘tough guy’ perfumes. It is true that the performance leaves much to be desired, but I admit the sweet wood close to the skin is irresistible. In the Portraits series, very stately and aristocratic, George is the most youthful fragrance for gentlemen. Due to its green and clean touches, as well as its moderate projection, I find it versatile across ages and seasons. To my taste, it is a little too clean and… perfect. I don’t know, George is a good boy and I tend towards darker, more intense perfumes. Despite not being my choice from Penhaligon’s, I encourage readers to try it just to appreciate the mastery it emanates.
What a delightful perfume, a unique and elusive scent. To call it a masterpiece… I’m not quite ready to say that yet, but it is certainly different and commands admiration from those who smell it. An excellent creation by Mr Morillas, a perfect balance between each element that lifts it out of its temporal context. This beautiful fragrance is incredible.
Delicious and intoxicating, balanced and elegant. A true masterpiece.
One of the best fragrances in this line for men. It opens with earthy and herbal notes, evolving into something very clean. Lasts around six hours. While there are many similar scents on the market, it is definitely worth buying.
What a delightful thing. Sometimes I see dry, rough wood, polished with enthusiasm and with an alcoholic touch. Other times I see the flowers, intoxicating and indolic and yet discreet, camouflaged in the wood. Maybe jasmine? The Penhaligon’s page speaks of ‘shaving soap’. A great cleanliness is noticeable at first sniff, but as you keep your nose close, the optical illusion changes the white foam into flowers. Perhaps it’s called ‘Tragedy’ because it hides a vulnerable, pathetic nuance. Yesterday I saw the movie Chicago, whose main plot consists of the use the protagonist makes of pathos to get out of jail (and become famous). This Tragedy of Lord George makes me think of a version starring a man.
The truth is I was super excited about the reviews and delighted to be able to try it, and so it was: I applied it many times and several times a day. The truth is, in my opinion, I couldn’t even smell it on my skin; I don’t actually know why. My goal wasn’t to receive compliments or anything, but not a single one, so I don’t know if it was just me or the day didn’t coincide with the use. I’ll give it another chance on another occasion and come back with a review. Talking about the little scent this fragrance gave me, the truth is, in my taste, I loved it, but that said, it’s not suitable for everyone. From there on out, super delighted with the scent and everything, but as I mention, in longevity and projection absolutely nothing; I couldn’t even smell it on my skin.
The truth is that everything I’ve tried by Alberto Morillas has very poor longevity. He’s a very good and beloved perfumer, but personally for me, it’s not that much, especially with what I mentioned before: everything I have by Alberto Morillas from different houses has nefarious longevity. I had in mind to buy this perfume until I saw that the perfumer was him; I’m not going to pay to reapply every two hours.
It’s a fragrance for adults; a certain level of experience with perfumes and age suits it well. It’s excellent aromatically but very lacking in overall performance. The Tragedy of Lord George is an elegant, fairly reserved and subtle fragrance that shows adequate presence for the first two hours and has a pleasing effect thanks to a favourable blend that makes you feel good, while at the same time conveying class and sobriety. The scent itself is quite simple and linear. But totally masculine. Pure masculinity. It’s not the typical barber-shop aroma; initially, a bitter shaving cream note appears (it seems as if we were facing one with a lavender and rose base; I also smell something herbal, but very delicate, not at all reminiscent of the post-shave lotion overdoses used in glorious past decades) which quickly blends with a bit of brandy and is sweetened with tonka beans. It has the right proportion between classic and modern, with certain doses of sensuality. Without a doubt, the cold season is ideal for wearing this fragrance, which is a good alternative for noses sensitive to more powerful fougères and want something versatile in the collection. Test on skin to see if the performance is to your liking before buying.
Certainly, this is a fragrance for an adult audience, but truly adult: at least forty-five or fifty years and older. A very aromatic and masculine perfume that recalls fragrances of the past, those from the seventies and eighties. Therefore, it’s an old-school scent, a bit like old shaving lotion… the kind your grandfather used, which today could easily be ninety years old. I agree that it’s a linear fragrance with no evolution, suitable for informal occasions, preferably in autumnal climates (leaning towards the cold). On my nose, it has a certain resemblance to Grey Flannel, which costs about twenty times less than this niche perfume. At $350 for 75ml… for me, it’s not worth it.
I don’t think you need to be a fifty-year-old man to wear this fragrance. I’m a lawyer, under thirty, and in formal and professional settings, it’s enchanting. It’s the perfume I usually use for formal meetings. I don’t know if it’s psychological, but it’s a fragrance that conveys security. ‘Here I am’. Lots of personality.
Love and hate: this perfume smells very green at the start, but when it dries down, it personally reminds me of Williams Dura. Normally it lasts about seven hours on my skin, but in the cold it lasts around fifteen hours, no joke. I love it; I’d say it’s one of the few Penhaligon’s that projects a 7/10.
I haven’t found any similarity with another fragrance; the opening is slightly sharp with a mature body, so I see it strictly as something to wear formally.
The opening lasts not even a minute and smells very much of alcohol, nothing in line with what it promises. It fades to reveal something more serene, with a bitter green and aromatic nuance. There’s also an alcoholic element, I’m not sure what, which conveys elegance and denotes a classic scent that I find hard to embrace. In my opinion, the opening is not in its best light. However, it will gradually change what it projects: it will become a vintage woody aroma with a subtle sweet contribution, perhaps from tonka bean. This major shift from the opening to the middle and base notes won’t be altered by many accords. A bitter, aromatic start, followed by a slightly sweet woody phase. In the later stages, after two hours, a patchouli emerges that doesn’t quite suit me; I don’t enjoy it. That said, I always perceive it as a vintage fragrance, very masculine, with an elegant bearing but above all masculine and mature. It’s good, but for those purposes, I’d stick with other options. It’s one of the few Penhaligon’s that sows doubt, mainly in the opening. After that, everything fits better and I end up liking it. Performance is fair and suitable for cold weather.
For me, this fragrance opens with a very Morillas-like green top note: fresh, clean, and with that botanical touch that awakens without being aggressive. It then evolves into an exquisite, elegant, and well-balanced woody heart. What I love most about Lord George is its innate class: it has presence without being overpowering; you can tell it’s well thought out. It’s perfect for daily wear or the office because it doesn’t invade your space but leaves you looking elegant and discreet.
