This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2026.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

How the top picks smell
Penhaligon's Halfeti (Eau de Parfum, 2015) opens with green notes and mugwort and ends on resins, cedarwood and patchouli; overall it reads as smoky amber leather over spiced rose. For Penhaligon's Luna (Eau de Toilette, 2016), expect bright citrus and green berries with soft rose: primofiore lemon and bitter orange up top, fir balsam, musk and ambergris underneath. Penhaligon's Sartorial (2010) comes across as tailored leather with honeyed spice and violet, with cardamom and metallic notes at the start and honey, oakmoss and tonka bean at the base.
