Penhaligon's The Omniscient Mister Thompson Eau De Parfum For Men 100ml

The British perfume brand Penhaligon's boasts a rich history, dating back to the 1870s. It was then that the company's founder, William Penhaligon, opened a small barber shop in London, where he not only provided services but also sold his own cosmetics. He released his first perfume in 1872, and the scent was a hit with the aristocracy. Penhaligon & Jeavons was founded in 1880 as a joint venture, and over the years, only Penhaligon's name remained in its name. The brand enjoyed many years of glory, but after World War II, its business declined. The brand's revival occurred in 1975 thanks to businesswoman Sheila Pickles, who restored the recipes for the famous perfumes and organized their relaunch. Today, the brand's collection includes 103 exquisite fragrances. Penhaligon's The Omniscient Mr. Thompson Eau de Parfum is an intriguing new addition to the Portraits Collection for 2023. The composition, whose name translates as "The Omniscient Mr. Thompson," evokes the olfactory image of a clever and cunning butler. In the animal kingdom, he is associated with the elephant, whose head adorns the bottle cap. The fragrance is based on woody and powdery notes with hints of sesame. The opening reveals fresh notes of elemi and lavender with the subtle spiciness of pink pepper. The heart of the composition is filled with the tartness of geranium, powdery notes of orris root, and the piquancy of black pepper. The base notes fuse nutty sesame, spicy vanilla, and robust oak wood.
