This perfume has confirmed my theory: Penhaligon’s is always polite.
Even for a leather Oud, they won’t do anything outrageous, like Dior.
Sir Humphrey (Yes, Minister) himself couldn’t have been a smoother equivocator.

My favourite Penhaligon’s release of recent years. The leather and oud notes dominate but are wonderfully supported by the tuberose which separates and elevates this above the mainstream. Lasts an age on me too which is always a bonus.

I love it! A leather/oud scent done the Penhaligon’s way. The notes provide a very strong scent, but it isn’t. The mandarin orange gives the leather and oud a original twist, and makes it more light and smooth.
Very oriental in style. Penhaligon’s has tried to capture the aura of Egypt in this scent, and I think they have succed very well.
-For those of you that have woted for enormous sillage, have you actually tried it? On my skin I get moderate sillage, and it sits quite close to the skin. The longevity on the other hand, is long lasting.
8/10

great sillage, leather and oud in a well blended mix, all purpose scent! extremely unisex!

This goes on a sour oud with some leather in the top. This is not dry. It is more juicy/sweet with an herbal balsamic quality to it. I love most of the dark Penhaligon scents. This one is okay. Little too simple without the sultry notes. There is no incense that I can detect. As it dries down, the leather comes forward but there are many leather scents I like much more than this. It is muddled.

This should be listed as a Men’s fragrance. I have not smelled it yet, but I really, really want to get my hands on it. I love Penhaligon’s and I love Oud, so this seems like a no-brainer! Anybody know where one could procure a decant of this?

On Penhaligon’s website it is listed as gentlemen’s fragrance, and is not listed in ladies fragrances. So it’s men’s eau de parfum, not ladies or unisex.
It is the most atypical for Penhaligon’s scent in their entire men collection, and by far the most long lasting. On paper strip it was lasting 3+ weeks, and I could clearly detect wifs of it from 1 ft away after 3 weeks. On my skin it lasts 16+ hours with projection over 3 ft and at least another 12 hours as a skin scent even after shower.
It is very masculine leather/smoke with touch of oud scent. Can’t say I love it, but definitely not disliking it. Full bottle worthy for me, but many might find it too harsh or not suitable for other reasons, so I would say you need to try it before you buy it.

At first, the thought of Penhaligon’s jumping on the oud wagon brought smile to my face (not the good kind), but none of them were bad! Especially this one–a knockout leather with incense & subtle oud support.
It’s one of those times when a brand catches you by surprise (like Zegna’s Gold collection); I guess Penhaligon’s can do Orientals too (as if Vaara & Elixir haven’t proved enough)!
Unfortunately the drydown’s a bit lacking compared to the stunning opening, but still one of my favorites from this house 🙂

Alizarin is a kind of chypre version of oud. It reminds of fragrances such as Le Labo Ylang 49 and Clinique Aromatics Elixir; it’s more leathery though, less chypre.
There’s an interesting smoky note that evokes mate leaf and Lapsang Souchong tea.
The top is great, particularly on skin, like a candied orange mixed with cinnamon.
It’s a bit soapy too, in a good way.
Much more original than Oud de Nil by the way!

Tried this today on my skin, and on me it’s primarily a leather scent. Sadly the narcissus is lost on me.
A couple of hours in, it acquired a soapy character which I didn’t like – a squeaky-clean mimosa/iris combo – and then a clean leather took over again until a creamy tuberose appeared after 8 hours. At this stage, it had been a skin scent for quite some time but it was never very loud to begin with.
Quite pleasant like all other fragrances in this house but nothing mind-blowing for me. Good longevity.

Notes seem delicious.
Very delicious.
I like to try.
The name… sound like Alzheimer… better another choice.
