I'm not really into citrus.
It's probably well made though :)

I'm curious, why the point deduction? It sounds almost dreamy. Your description has at least catapulted it onto my must-try list.

I should test it again more thoroughly, but the overall impression is looking positive :-)

I think "back then" citrus scents weren't as "scratchy" as some are today. A very lovely fragrance.

The older herbal citrus scents had more character.

Citrus is one of Penhaligon's strengths, I noticed that with Cousin Matthew.

Such deliciously authentic hesperidic notes. Classic, elegant, and aristocratic.
It ranks among the best citrus fragrances like Crown Spiced Lime, Eau Sauvage 1966, Colonia, etc.
Thanks to Schoeibksr for the opportunity to test it.
