The number of those fragrances that instantly hold you after their application are few, but Penhaligon's Sartorial EDT is among those.

It wraps its wearer in a cloud of delight and tranquility in the most perfect way possible. This fragrance has been mixed so impeccably, that no one can go off-base with it's purchase. 1725 by Histoire de Parfums, Invasion Barbare by Parfums MDCI, and Penhaligon's Sartorial crown the genre of barbershop fougeres, but in my humble opinion Sartorial stands out in its elegance and uniqueness from the other two scents.
Immediately after spraying, the mixture of fresh spices and floral notes overwhelm you in a good way, but you do not have to wait long until these initial notes settle down giving the way to the middle notes where lavender has the loudest shout. From here, lavender stays in the game until the final notes set in making this perfume to what it is loved for: A clean, fresh, powdery, barbershop fragrance, that is enveloped with just the right amount of lavender, honey, patchouli and musky notes. Another masterpiece from master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. We hope that it will not get reformulated so we could enjoy its magnificence for a very long time.

This was the first Creed perfume that I received from my wife, and it stands very close to my heart. The spray instantly sails the wearer to a very happy, bright and aromatic destination where the sun always shines. Seriously, this vetiver blend instantly makes its wearer happy!
The scent profile opens with a light but prominent mixture of bergamot and citruses that smells very natural and fresh.
This zesty halo of freshness stays for approximately 5 minutes and quickly changes the profile of scent to woody and earthy. This state does not stay for long, and the final accords of musk and ambergris emerge, making the scent profile complete. In the meantime, the perfume does not lose from any of its freshness and versatility.
This beautiful earthy, powdery, and green aroma does not change to a dull and commerce scent compared to other vetiver compositions available in the market.
Unfortunately, this wonderful state does not stay sharp for long and fades within a few hours with a limited silage. Should the longevity and silage be addressed by Creed, it would be the non-to-other vetiver perfume!

It's so difficult for me to pinpoint the precise notes of this fragrance, so how can I possible describe it accurately? The aroma of ASAQ al-Qurashi blend is a beautiful combination of fresh, flowery, and citrus notes with ambery, powdery, musky, and oudhy undertones. There aren't many individuals wearing the same or even a comparable scent on the street because the perfume is distinctive. From start to finish, it has a unique yet alluring presence that surrounds the wearer in a divine perfume. Immediately upon application, the lemon and lily of the valley begin to work their magic, but they soon fade and make way for the sandalwood and agar wood to take centre stage.
With dignity and modesty, these two parts enter the stage and carry on their performance, captivating the audience until the amber note completes the circle and adds the final touch of elegance with perfect haromony. Imagine delicate notes of citrus and flowers whispering in the distance, all without trying to interfere with the grand masters' main performance. The wearer of this beauty is mesmerised for hours on end and the symphony is complete. At their parties, I picture kings, queens, and other royalties donning this scent. A masterpiece that everyone who like fragrances should try at least once in their lifetime. We are really grateful to the perfumers at ASAQ for creating this amazing scent!
