Penhaligon's Halfeti Leather, Sample
Halfeti Leather is a fantastic twist on the highly popular original Halfeti from Penhaligon's. Perfumer Christian Provenzano has created a sumptuously smooth leather scent which boasts a dazzling array of citruses, fruits, floral notes, spices, and woods, all combined to create a delightfully harmonious composition which is complex yet highly appealing and captivating.
The fragrance opens with a bright and invigorating burst of plum and citrus, where the sweet tartness of plum intertwines with the zesty freshness of bergamot and citruses, creating a lively introduction. Cardamom and green notes add a spicy, aromatic edge, while lavender provides a soothing, herbal undertone that balances the initial vibrancy. As the heart unfolds, the warmth of cumin and cinnamon melds with the opulent richness of rose and jasmine, offering a floral-spicy interplay that is both intriguing and comforting. Nutmeg and violet whisper through, adding layers of complexity and a hint of powdery elegance.
In the dry-down, the fragrance reveals its true depth with the emergence of the leather note, which is rich and supple, enveloping the senses in a creamy embrace. This is grounded by the dark, resinous allure of agarwood and incense, which impart a smoky, mysterious quality. Cedar and patchouli lend a woody earthiness, rounding out the composition with a touch of sophistication and refinement. The overall effect is a fragrance that evolves beautifully, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and elegance.
