Bois du Portugal

A bright citrus opening gives way to lavender, then a base of sandalwood, cedar and vetiver. Dry and upright, built for a suit and a long day.

The Inimitable William Penhaligon

Bergamot and ginger open onto a heart of jasmine and incense. Vetiver dominates a woody base of cedar, sandalwood and ambroxan.
