The Remarkable Success of Mr Harrod Penhaligon's 2017

How does the remarkable success of Mr. Harrod smell? I would like to get to the bottom of this question today. The reason? A fragrance from Penhaligon's, which is only available in the legendary Harrods department store.

But enough of the preamble - it starts with an intense plum note accompanied by a light raspberry nuance. Oud and tobacco are also clearly perceptible right from the start. However, this is not a particularly heavy, oriental oud. Rather, subtle woody notes ensure that the fragrance is not overpowering. And thus reflects all the more the style of a British businessman.
As the woods gradually recede, bright flowers - especially jasmine - and spicy accents take center stage. But two main protagonists remain until the end: the sweet, sensual plum and the smoky, warm tobacco, reminiscent of fine pipe tobacco.

It lasts for around six hours on my skin, whereby the fragrance tends to stay close to the skin - which you would hardly expect given the intense notes. However, this makes it wonderfully wearable. Although the fragrance is officially classified as masculine, I find it absolutely unisex.
