The elephant is gray, boredom is also gray.
And you, Mr. Thompson?
I was so looking forward to meeting you. And then this:
You seem almost irrelevant, you are so simple and straightforward. So terribly unexciting and quiet, you almost melt into the background.
One could almost forget you.
Almost.
But I didn't, I couldn't.
As if of its own accord, my hand kept looking for you, emptying the far too small bottle far too quickly.
But why? Because you're not so unexciting, you're unexciting. You're not quiet, you're calm. Not simple, but tidy, neat. Almost clean in your own peculiar way.
It is the simplicity of the fragrance pyramid and the harmony of the individual notes that create this calm, soothing effect. The eternally powdery iris is accompanied by a warming but not particularly sweet vanilla, which in turn brings a certain creaminess into play. So far, so familiar, so often smelled before. But the twist is promised by the sweet, warm sesame, which is prominent from the outset and is rarely encountered so authentically. Somewhere in the background, there is a hint of lavender, which just barely contributes to the overall picture. The opening is accompanied by pink pepper and the base is discreetly concealed by woods that are hard to pin down.
All in all, this is a fragrance that perfectly captures the butler theme, as this is the role that Penhaligon's marketing department assigns to Mr. Thompson.
Loud, garish notes that bring themselves and the fragrance to the fore are nowhere to be found and would also be out of place. This creates space for calm cleanliness, accompanied by warmth and a subtle sweetness that is friendly but never intrusive.
