Product Information

Then you get to choose your charm designed by Kristjana Williams. ​ I chose the motor car charm as it’s limited edition and no longer available. Also because F1 is coming to Vegas this year. Perfumes always evoke memories for me. So now I’ll always have something to remember it and this Summer in London by. Penhaligon’s perfumes and fragrances review For the uninitiated, Penhaligon's are a British company founded in the 1860s and the image they present of themselves is strongly aligned with the well to do. This isn't a lie either - Winston Churchill was apparently an avid wearer of their 'Blenheim Bouquet', and James Bond associated himself with them in the Ian Fleming novels. It'd be fair to say, therefore, that Penhaligon's as a brand can be described as traditional and critics (...me!) might call some of their older fragrances 'dated'. The original Halfetiby Penhaligon'sis an Amber Woody fragrance for women and men. Halfetiwas launched in 2015. Halfeti Cedar is unconcerned with trying to keep up with the original, however! As the saffron fades, the rum note begins to combine with the cedar, dark fruits and immortelle (I won't even bother trying to work out what the 'mineral notes' are adding) and...holy hell. What we have here is that rarest of perfume scents, the Christmas pudding. If you love booze and dried fruits, this is a perfume you need to try, because it's really nailing the accord for me. It's the booziest darn thing I've smelt. Quercus is supposed to be a men’s perfume but we found it too sweet to be a mens’ fragrance. The citrus was overpowering and made it smell like furniture polish. Quercus is on our miss list and not something any one in my family would wear.

I choose the pink Spanish leather sleeve from the 8 leather colors available for this style of bottle. The next step is to have the leather sleeve embossed with up to 3 characters in either silver or gold. Top Notes: Grapefruit, Bergamot, Green Notes, Armoise (wormwood, used in absinthe.), Heart Notes: Cardamom, Cumin, Nutmeg, Saffron, Cinnamon, Rose, Violet, Jasmine, Cypress, Muguet, Lavender., Base Notes: Leather, Oud, Amber, Resins, Cedarwood,Patchouli heart, Tonka, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Musk. ~ Halfeti Leather opens with top notes of Cardamom, Plum, Green Notes, Lavender, Bergamot and Citruses. The mid is comprised of Cumin, Rose, Nutmeg, Violet, Cinnamon and Jasmine; while the base notes are Leather, Incense, Agarwood (Oud), Cedar and Patchouli. How Does Halfeti Leather Smell?And the great thing about the hair fragrance is that you get a little waft of it every time you move your hair, and the breeze blows on it, which just makes you feel very elegant and company-ready! Also, it contains super-fine Argan oil which is amazing for the condition of your hair. It’s a win-win! However, because it’s on the sweeter side I find it more of a feminine women’s perfume than a unisex scent. I actually really like Legacy of Petra and it’s on my Penhaligon’s fragrances favorites list for Winter perfumes. Bracing desert winds. A riddle of bergamot and balsam. Dusk greets a convoy of fragrant woody amber – and just in time for tea. Warm myrrh makes tarrying tempting. But is it all a façade? Surely not. Penhaligon’s Est. London 1870 Halfeti Leather started as a warm and predominantly plum scent that’s suited more for the Winter. He actually liked it more after it had time to warm up on his skin and the leather smell developed more which you don’t get when you first spray it.

The Trade Routes scent library contains 8 x 2ml Penhaligon’s miniatures (aka samples). Many of the Trade Routes eau de parfums are unisex fragrances so they’re fun to try together and share: The hills of Halfeti remains unexplored... until now. Dried fruits and spice cascade through cedar's lofty canopy into a river of rum, minerals and vanilla. New love takes root in this ambery fragrance.

The opening is distinctly dry, green and coniferous. Certainly everything described in the top notes is present, but they're all working in harmony as opposed to punching loudly. I find Empressa to be more peachy and slightly less sweet and muskier with more warmth than Coco Mademoiselle. As well as more addictive (you know when you just want to keep sniffing a perfume) and sensual. Versus Coco Mademoiselle which I find more youthful.Penhaligon’s Empressa & a peek inside their London store Penhaligon’s Legacy of Petra | Unisex fragrance I thought it'd also be a good opportunity to revisit the original Halfeti and its first flanker, Halfeti Leather at the same time though, so let us begin.

Halfeti Leather, similarly, continues from where it left off with the plum note softening, and the nutmeg starting to shine through, bringing it more into line with its parent. Again, the other notes here are subtle; it's more about how they blend with the leather.I actually found the online fragrance profiling more thorough and accurate than in store. As in store the lady only asked what smells I usually like and actually misheard me and was giving me all the scents I said I didn’t like! Whereas their online fragrance profiling takes you through a series of fun personality questions which takes about 3 minutes and leaves you with 3 suggestions. As you'll see, the 'DNA' notes are actually slightly different depending on the flanker - the only constant amongst all three in the top notes is the cardamom, whilst the middle notes of Halfeti cedar differ completely to the original. All have a cedar base, but outside of that, it's a free for all! It's rum and dried fruits to open, and then settles with some woods and spicy on the dry down. All beautifully enmeshed in a spinning kaleidoscopic eruption of mineral accords, vanilla notes and tonka beans.For those outdoor walks in Winter. For those outdoor Christmas events, for those late night impulsive BBQ's because why not. HALFETI LEATHER
