The Tragedy of Lord George

$295.00

The Tragedy of Lord George opens with lavender and rum in a combination that smells immediately of a gentleman's dressing room: the shaving soap accord threading through with a clean, slightly medicinal quality that Alberto Morillas uses to establish the Portraits collection's characteristic world-building. Tonka bean in the heart is soft and warm, the brandy note adding a boozy richness that the lavender opening has prepared for. Ambrox and vetiver in the base are understated but persistent, cedarwood giving the drydown a dry structure that holds the whole composition for hours.

Why We Carry This

The Tragedy of Lord George is Alberto Morillas writing a character study in fragrance, and the shaving soap accord is the biographical detail that makes the narrative specific. British heritage perfumery with genuine storytelling ambition: the rum-tonka-ambrox arc is simple by note count and sophisticated by execution. One of Penhaligon's most consistently admired Portraits compositions.
