Penhaligon’s men’s collection is as varied as the British character itself.

Penhaligon’s men’s fragrances \u2014 analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Halfeti (DIVAIN-485)<\/a><\/strong> Inspired by the town of Halfeti on the banks of the Euphrates in Turkey, this fragrance is a first-rate oriental spicy gem. Bergamot, grapefruit and green cardamom on top create a fresh but complex opening; the heart of rose, saffron and nutmeg is opulent and exotic; the base of oud, amber and leather is deep and persistent. A fragrance that quite literally transports you somewhere else. For men with olfactory curiosity and a taste for the exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Endymion (DIVAIN-332)<\/a><\/strong> The most classic and versatile proposition in Penhaligon’s men’s selection. Bergamot, grapefruit and lavender on top; geranium, violet and bay leaf in the heart; vetiver, patchouli and musk at the base. An aromatic fragrance with an herbal heart and a clean base that works perfectly for daily use, the office or semi-formal events. British elegance distilled into a bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tragedy of Lord George (DIVAIN-327)<\/a><\/strong> Probably the most theatrical and dramatic fragrance in Penhaligon’s entire men’s collection. Rum, brandy and whisky on top (yes, noble alcoholic notes) create an absolutely unusual opening; the heart of tonka bean, vanilla and cinnamon is warm and spiced; the base of cedar, sandalwood and amber closes it with nobility. For winter evenings, for men who want to tell a story with their perfume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agarbathi (DIVAIN-326)<\/a><\/strong> Inspired by incense (agarbathi in Hindi), this fragrance is an ode to spirituality and serenity. Bergamot, grapefruit and pink pepper on top; ginger, cardamom and cedar in the heart; vetiver, patchouli and musk at the base. A fragrance with a unique personality and a calm that few brands manage to convey. For men who want to stand apart with something genuinely special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
