The renowned perfume house Penhaligon's has dedicated a series of fragrances to British aristocracy. Noble, with their own secrets and palace intrigues, these scents fully embody the character traits, manners, and impeccable appearance of their aristocratic prototypes. The fragrance Portraits The Tragedy of Lord George tells the story of a wealthy man who seemingly embodies the finest virtues: generosity, justice, courage, and diligence. However, this is not the case, which is the true tragedy of Lord George.
The concise yet multifaceted trio of notes unfolds with the intoxicating, robust aroma of brandy, complemented by pleasant fruity and floral nuances, beguiling vanilla undertones, and a warm, enveloping alcoholic aftertaste. At the heart of the perfume composition, warm, slightly dry woody notes are revealed, bathed in gentle sunlight. The base exudes noble amber and enchanting hints of tonka beans.
Reviews about Penhaligon's The Tragedy of Lord George
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!
