Fortuitous Finley - Penhaligon's (2025)
Penhaligon's is once again doing what it does best - creating a fragrance with history, character and British charm. Fortuitous Finley sounds classy and understated, like a true gentleman in an impeccable suit.
For me, it is clearly a masculine fragrance. It speaks of inner strength without any aggression: cleanly composed woody and spicy accents, a slightly tart freshness, a hint of leather and velvety depth. The composition is strict, controlled, but not without a certain irony - as if the fragrance were smiling at you with a wink from under an English hat.
On my skin, it unfolds dry, almost crisp, without excessive sweetness. It is not a universal fragrance - it calls for a certain style, a mood, a personality. But that is precisely where its character lies.
For lovers of clearly masculine notes and perfume intelligence: definitely give it a try.
