Penhaligon's Lothair, Sample
Penhaligon's Lothair is an Aromatic Spicy fragrance for women and men, crafted by the esteemed perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. This scent showcases his exceptional ability to create sophisticated and unique compositions. The opening is a refreshing burst of juniper and cardamom, which adds a crisp and invigorating start. The fig leaf introduces a green, slightly sweet dimension, while bergamot and grapefruit bring a zesty brightness. These citrusy elements are gently softened by the juicy sweetness of red berries, creating an immediate sense of intrigue and balance.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals an elegant blend of lavender and fig tree, which adds a calming and soothing effect. Black tea infuses a rich, slightly smoky depth, intertwining seamlessly with the floral nuances of geranium and magnolia. This combination offers a delicate yet complex character, enhancing the fragrance's allure.
In the dry-down, the base notes of vanilla and woody accords envelop the senses in warmth and comfort. The presence of ambergris adds a sophisticated touch, while cedar and oakmoss provide a grounding earthiness. Musk brings a subtle, sensual finish, leaving a lasting impression of refinement and charm. The interplay of these notes results in a fragrance that is both tasteful and captivating, embodying a timeless appeal.
