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 still want to leave a review. I bought it for myself, not for my husband. The scent is bold, mature, and confident, like a woman who enjoys strong alcoholic drinks and sex. I don't know why they classify it as a masculine fragrance, it feels more unisex to me.
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, once again, the pine-aldehyde notes of Equipage follow, but the ending and base pleasantly surprise with a modern interpretation by Albert Morillas of Guy Robert's creation. While in Equipage everything ends with retro leather and vanilla, here we have brandy and tonka beans, with the same delicate intimate undertone of "yellow" amber.
Definitely, this fragrance is a successfully "played" modern version of the aristocratic, but already vintage, Hermes Equipage by Guy Robert.
It is certainly worth every penny, although it is still a first-class masculine luxury, not niche.
Bravo, Morillas!
