Sartorial




then
Opus 1870
Blenheim Bouquet
LP no.19


The gap exemplifies amount of like between Sartorial and the rest.

I have tried most of them and like Opus 1870 the best.

Endymion is lovely for winter time, as well as LP.
However, my favourite are their Eau de Cologne and Castile, both pure class in a bottle

I have not smelled the entire line but I do love Sartorial.

Racquets perfect mix USA/UK barbershop vibe with European Barbershop vibe.

I only have small decant of Opus 1870 and I really like it.

Of those that I've tried, Sartorial. Endymion and Opus 1870 are the next two.

I am not a fan of the house, but my favorite is Sartorial.

Sartorial but I love Hammam Boquet.

I've only tried a few of them, but Sartorial stood far out from those that I tried.

I've only tried a few of them, and realized I liked LP No. 9 and Elixir. I'm saving up for a small bottle of the former. Hope to find it online as I don't want to pay an additional tax in NYC.

Sartorial is the only one I have right now. Endymion is really nice and I wish I still had it. None are really worth the price. They should really be priced like YSL scents, IMHO. My wife loves Artemesia for herself, but I don't like it.

Man, ive sniffed 3 which is Castile and own Satorial and Endymion. They are all really nice.

Hammam Bouquet is the most beautiful Penhaligon's scent, but Blenheim Bouquet is the most wearable.
post #21 of 31
This is my house.

Lp9-always first
Opus 1870- simple yet very commanding
Elixir- brisk AND warm
Edymion- Contemporary yet reserved
Sartorial- Lords/Douro's city cousin
Esprit Du Roi- Wow! wood and leather
Eau Sans Pareil- Opus 1870's sophisticated, evening cousin

Enjoy your winter!

That i have used, Hammam Bouquet, then Duoro.

Sartorial has haunted me ever since i first smelt it in August, 2011. I cant explain why i haven't bought it yet.

Hammam Bouquet despite the quality of ingredients deteriorating recently.
post #24 of 31
Douro

Opus 1870

Opus 1870, Blenheim Bouquet and Endymion, in no particular order.

Blenheim Bouquet

As with many fragrance houses, some of Penhaligon's can be very polarising and really need to be sampled. English Fern, for example, is likely to be liked by anyone who likes a classic fougere, and if that's you then you're probably relatively safe to buy it. But Hammam Bouquet is very divisive - many love it, but I find it quite repulsive.

My favourite of the Penhaligon's I have tried is Sartorial, which I think is one of the very best fragrances I have tried - it's the only one I have bought a bottle of so far.

My second favourite is Endymion, but it has poor longevity on me.

Elixer is my very favorite. I never tire of it.
post #31 of 31
I love Racquets which for some reason you cant find anymore - well not here in the UK.

Also Opus 1870, English Fern, Lp No 9,

Sartorial is not bad but I think its more of an older mans scent,

Theres more that are nice but cant remember which ones
