Hello sniffers. Welcome to my new commentary, which today is about a Penhaligon's fragrance, an English fragrance brand that has quite beautiful scents to offer. Those who know me will of course expect me to recommend Penhaligon's fragrance "Lothair" first and foremost. No wonder, because Lothair is not only a beautiful, spicy autumn scent, but it also contains great tea notes. And those who know me, know how much I like tea and tea scents, right?
Today, however, I'm coming to a scent without tea in it, even though you might not expect that from an English scent :D But maybe it's all the more interesting for that for all those here who don't like tea scents or even tea at all,... unbelievable... how can you not like something like that? I'd understand if people didn't like disgusting things like cilantro, capers, eggplant, brussels sprouts and such, but tea??? :DD
Well whatever, because if I think about it any longer I'm sure I'll go back to calling you all weirdos, and you certainly don't want that, I'm guessing, hey hey :D
Alright, so let's get to Belgravia Chypre, which is dedicated to the district of Belgravia in west London, which is now one of the most affluent parts of London.
The fragrance:
The fragrance begins with sweetish pink pepper as well as raspberries, although I can not say which smells stronger, since pink pepper also often radiates berry, after all, pink pepper are actually also berries and not real pepper, they therefore also do not have the distinctive pepper scent as the black pepper. A light, spicy note in the background is nevertheless present, which also seems a bit woody. In addition, the fragrance still has a creamy touch.
Later, the fragrance continues to remain as described, but becomes even a trace creamier, which is perhaps also the mate that you can now easily smell.
Also much later, the fragrance remains berry-fruity, but now also sweeter, whose sweetness seems to me like amber, among other things anyway. Is it perhaps the labdanum? Argh, labdanum is one of those fragrances where I'm never sure what it really smells like...
Otherwise, there's a lot of patchouli in the base, though it comes across as less intense than in many other scents. Even the oakmoss turned out really weak, so the scent might even appeal to oakmoss non-lovers... who knows? :)
Anyway, the scent is nice and comes across as a bit simplistic, yet is still elegantly exuding.
The sillage and the durability:
The sillage turned out rather mediocre for me, for me it doesn't radiate as strongly as I assumed from the average reviews here. But soo weak he is of course not. The durability is there already better, I could smell the fragrance so seven to eight hours on me.
The flacon:
The bottle is cylindrical and clear, with a large label on the front where you can see a black and white drawing of the London district. The top is cylindrical at the bottom (and appears to be gold-plated this time) and round at the top. On the cylindrical part it has a silk bow as usual, which has turned out green this time. A beautiful bottle as usual.
Conclusion:
Okay, so I think you have to be a little patient with this fragrance. He starts quite nice, but also a bit weak or rather simple, because you smell almost only fruity-sweet. Although that changes later also not really great, but by the fragrance notes of the base gets the fragrance a better vibrancy, seems more elegant and also a little more mature.
It fits well as an all-rounder, so for every occasion and season, at least in my opinion, because it is neither heavy nor light. Well, maybe it's not a fragrance for going out or celebrating, but still you could use it in the evening, so to go out to dinner or something. I must say, however, that the fragrance comes across quite feminine to me. For me, he is therefore not at all unisex.
I find that he is worth a look or just a sniff. Why the fragrance should now reflect the Belgravia district in London, I do not know quite. Possibly its elegant charisma could stand for the distinguished society there, who knows?
What does it smell like in your neck of the woods? :D
Uuuuh, with us here it sometimes stinks to heaven, if once again the sewer is full and you can therefore guess a little how often the neighbors go to do a big business on the toilet... while this is fortunately only occasionally smellable in winter, it's really bad in the summer especially during heat waves... baaaaaah!!!! :D
Anyway, now it's winter for now and the problem with it is not often encounterable. Well then, that's it from me again. Have all a nice evening and until the next time :)
