Profumo di Pantelleria
by Profumi di Pantelleria

I feel this is a unisex fragrance. It has many similarities with Blenheim Bouquet, the familiar Citrus and Lavender accord lasting until it’s near end. Though not mentioned in the notes pyramid I feel there is pink pepper in the base. The pyramid also suggests there is oakmoss in the base but I can’t separate it out. Also not mentioned but seemingly present is a sweet turpentine odour coming through.

With the similarities of Blenheim Bouquet in mind I decided to test both side by side. The similarity is indeed striking but overall the Penhaligon is much, much better. The Penhaligon feels more complete, richer and classier, it’s citrus being much nicer and more piercing. But this isn’t a Blenheim Bouquet review so I’ll leave it there.

I would have given the Profumi a thumbs up but in its wind down I find it becomes rather fusty and unpleasant.
