The Tragedy of Lord George

Got the sample library discovery set thing from Penhaligon's last month. This is a Barbershop Fougere if ever there was such a thing - soapy, creamy wood, powdery, luxurious and soft, The scent is amazing and I wanted it to last, so badly, but it doesn't. 5 stars for the scent, as a classic, classy work of art. 2 stars for horrible longevity. I get 2 hours of good sillage and projection and 2 more hours as a skin scent and then almost nothing. For a nearly $300 bottle with only 75ml, I expect 12 hours of scent. Even if it gave me 8 hours, I'd be thrilled. But 4 is not acceptable for this price point and makes no sense for an EDP. If they made a 30 or 50 ml bottle option for half the price I'd be all over it in a second. Alas

Awesome fragrance!! Nice clean smell and is suitable for day or night!! Will buy their line again!!

My new favorite from Penhaligons. An amazing and regal fragrance that smells just as its described. I wear this sometimes just to make me happy. I get amazing reviews from ladies, if I had one complaint, I wish it projected longer - purely so I could enjoy it more.

It opens up with a beautiful rush of smoke then dialing down to a nice vanilla scent with the smoke still intact.

My boyfriend likes this one! Good and hardcover, not broken at all :)

After an opening as soapy-clean as suggested above, this one opens out into something really nice -- every bit as regal, not quite so proper, LOTS more fun. In addition to the notes above, there's a nice smoke note (wood smoke, perhaps cedar? cigar smoke?) that indicates that this is not Lord George's first time at the club, and that all the civility and formality set forth by this elegant fragrance can be the container for some very, very odd doings. There's probably a gentleman in your life who would wear this well; his passport is up to date and there are stamps in it no one's willing to talk about.
