Sartorial Penhaligon's 2010

Yes, this suit may be "very British" and possibly a bit "old fashioned" - but that can also possess 'sex appeal', even if this is a subjective perception. Looking at the components of this complex and balanced Fougère and their effect, it becomes clear that we are dealing with a balsamic-warm, aphrodisiac fragrance.

'Sartorial' initially starts fresh and cool. Especially the aldehydic-ozonic and metallic notes create a fresh, clean, almost medicinal impression, which is supported by the listed cardamom and its slightly camphoraceous quality. Cardamom, the second most expensive spice oil after saffron, simultaneously leads us to the spicy-aromatic and balsamic-floral undertones of the top note. The violet leaf, intensified by the peppery tones, comes into play. The spicy ginger, which I personally cannot detect, will surely contribute its part. The orange blossom and neroli gently underscore with their fruity and orange-like components the herb-spicy, warm-bitter development.
The lavender noted in the heart picks up this development of the fragrance and transitions it with spicy-herbaceous, floral-woody, and sweet-balsamic undertones to the warm, slightly animalistic leather.
The patchouli, which comes across as musky here, is woven in balsamically-finely by the warm, slightly spicy-sweet myrrh. Warm wood accords and, of course, the warm-balsamic honey and vanilla complete the base with the eroticizing amber.

A perfectly tailored suit that even Cupid could slip into.
