What are the secrets of the British aristocracy? Are they as well behaved, courteous and polite as they seem to be? “Portraits” is a tribute to the English spirit; between establishment, humour and provocation. The family portrait starts with one of its main character: Lord George (chapter I).
Deceptively traditional, Lord George is a perfect reminder that one should be aware of appearances. He himself maintains that one should never be able to divine what a man is thinking. This ability being, of course, the key to a happy marriage.
Honourable, to a tee, his fidelity to King and Country is resolute. His fragrance, powerful, rich and ever-so welcoming “do come in, I’m sure we’ve met before”. For the well-to-do who are able, stable, reassuring but also lots of fun. A solid shoulder to cry on (was that a protective hand I felt on my?) This is a fragrance for the man whose reputation lives on.
Not quite Latin but full of love nevertheless.
A great addition to the Portraits group - the description of the scent was very accurate and was just what I was looking for.

Penhaligon's
The founder of the brand, William Henry Penhaligon's, arrived in London in the 1860s to make a fortune and thus began his illustrious career. Creative and ambitious, William was inspired by the scents of the Turkish baths of the neighboring Jermyn street and created his first perfume, Hammam Bouquet, in 1874.
