And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz
I always get confused by the names of these Penhaligon’s bottles. It’s a horses head, what the heck was its name again? At least Zoologist has got their animal names straight.
Aaaaaanyway we’re not here to talk about the name of a freaking perfume are we? We want to know what it smells like. And you wouldn’t believe it but it smells pretty darn nice. First time I saw this bottle in the store it was brand new. Sprayed it on a paper strip and left it in the car. It smelled so nice, definitely flowers but none of that rose, jasmine or lavender you’ve smelled 1000 times before. Definitely unique and not per se feminine, as a matter of fact I find it leaning masculine.
In my car this smell was pretty straightforward, but now I’ve tested it on skin a couple of times and it’s a different story. The flowery bit stays for a good part of the starting phase. But it retreats a bit after that and what stays is a very creamy woody base that’s not bad either. I don’t know if you know the smell of this cod liver oil ointment, but it reminds me a bit of it. And it gives me this feeling of being nurtured.
I’ve gotten quite a good performance out of it. I could smell it myself pretty good even after 8 to 10 hours. As such I’d say it’s a great perfume for relaxing, lazy weekends, but it would definitely work in the office as well.
