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.
