The Tragedy of Lord George
The Tragedy of Lord George by Penhaligon's is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2016 in the niche price tier. It opens with cognac and sage, moves into tonka bean and cedarwood and dries down to leather, vanilla and sandalwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cognac Boozy, fruity and warming. Richer and rounder than rum.
- Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
Heart
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
