About This Perfume
Penhaligon's Elisabethan Rose comes across as powdery rose tea, with nutty cinnamon warmth. It opens with almond, hazelnut leaf and cinnamon, moves into rose absolute, red lily and rosa centifolia and settles on musk, vetiver and woody notes. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for date nights. Released in 2018.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $130.
