The renowned fragrance house Penhaligon's has dedicated a series of scents to the British aristocracy. Noble, with their own secrets and palace intrigues, they fully embody the character traits, manners, and impeccable appearance, serving as a worthy reflection of their noble prototypes. The fragrance Portraits The Tragedy of Lord George tells the story of a well-off individual who seemingly embodies the most admirable virtues: generosity, fairness, bravery, and diligence. However, in reality, this is far from the case, which constitutes the tragedy of Lord George.
The concise yet multifaceted trio of notes opens with the aroma of intoxicating, strong brandy, featuring pleasant fruity-floral shades, heady vanilla overtones, and a warm, enveloping aftertaste of alcohol. At the heart of the fragrance composition, one can find warm, slightly dry woody notes, caressed by gentle sun rays. In the trail, one can sense the shimmering of noble amber and the intoxicating shades of tonka beans.
I didn't buy it for makeup, but I want to leave a review. I bought it for myself, not for my husband))) The scent is bold, mature, and self-sufficient, like a woman who loves strong alcoholic beverages and sex😏 I don't know why they classified it as a men's fragrance, it's more like unisex.
Undoubtedly, one of the few modern classic men's fragrances.
The opening is very romantic with woody-spicy notes in an eastern style by Alberto Morillas. It strongly reminded me of Hermes Equipage, but in a modern version. Then, the pine-aldehyde notes of Equipage follow again, but the ending and base pleasantly surprise with the modern interpretation by Alberto Morillas of Guy Robert's creation. If in Equipage everything ends with retro leather and vanilla, here it is brandy and tonka beans, with the same delicate intimate undertones of "yellow" amber!
Definitely, this fragrance is a successfully executed modern version of the aristocratic, but already vintage, Hermes Equipage by Guy Robert.
It is definitely worth every penny, although it is still a first-class masculine luxury, not niche.
Bravo, Morillas!
