Item Description
I tend to classify colognes in a couple of categories. There is the "integrated" category (I am a cologne, and I smell nice), and the "evocative" category (the scent brings about a mood). This one is in the evocative category. It is a scent that is a bit hard to describe if you haven't smelled it, but it starts out with a strong sweet/minty component (not true mint, but more of a sharp lavender mintiness), mixed with a complex herbal note including thyme, geranium, and moss. It reminds one of walking through the English countryside, hound by your side, swells of clouds racing overhead, and the joy of life in your lungs. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest scents out there, period, and is probably the best warm weather scent that I have in my reportoire. If you haven't tried Penhaligon's, this is the one to get. Really a classic.
