Okay, so let’s talk about this Penhaligon’s Elisabethan Rose perfume. I’ve been meaning to try out some new scents, and I heard a lot of buzz about this one. You know, Penhaligon’s, that fancy British perfume house with the Royal Warrant and all that jazz. They’ve been around since, like, forever, and they’re known for their super luxurious fragrances.
So, I finally got my hands on a bottle of Elisabethan Rose. First off, the packaging? Gorgeous. It’s got this classic, elegant vibe that screams “I’m expensive!” which, well, it is. But hey, sometimes you gotta treat yourself, right?
Now, about the scent itself. The description said it’s a “Floral Woody Musk” fragrance, which honestly sounded a bit intimidating. But I was intrigued. They also mentioned something about the Tudor rose, the flower of England, and a mix of rose, hazelnut, and tangerine. Sounds interesting, huh?
- I sprayed it on my wrist, took a deep breath, and… wow. It’s definitely rose-forward, but not in that old-lady, powdery way. It’s more like a fresh, dewy rose, if that makes sense.
- I could also pick up on some subtle nutty notes, probably the hazelnut, and a hint of something citrusy, which must be the tangerine.
The First Sniff
I wore it around all day to see how it developed. It’s not overpowering, which is good. I hate those perfumes that give you a headache after a while. This one is more like a gentle, lingering scent that kind of evolves throughout the day.
- Initially, it’s very floral and fresh.
- After a few hours, the woodiness started to come through a bit more, giving it a warmer, more grounded feeling.
- By the end of the day, it had settled into this soft, musky scent with just a hint of rose still lingering.
Throughout the Day
Honestly, I’m really digging this perfume. It’s sophisticated without being stuffy, and it’s unique enough to stand out without being too “out there.” I’ve gotten a few compliments on it already, which is always a plus.
I also heard that they have some other products in this scent, like a gift set with hand and body lotion. Might have to check those out too. A girl can never have too many rose-scented things, am I right?
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with Penhaligon’s Elisabethan Rose. If you’re looking for a new perfume that’s a bit different and feels super luxurious, I’d say give this one a try. It’s definitely a winner in my book!
