My cuddly monsieur
So this is the second review of fragrances I've had in my collection for a long time, but never wrote anything about. Yes out of reverence for them, because they touched me so.
This one is also my first fragrance I ever bought from Penhaligon's.
My fragrance journey with Penhaligon's began when I first visited my girlfriend in London. I arrived at her place only towards evening and we still decided to walk around Picadilly Circus/Soho for a bit. As luck would have it, we also walked across Regent Street, which was beautifully lit up for Christmas. Across the street, I saw a shop that caught my attention because it had such beautifully decorated windows. We took a closer look at the shop and sniffed, through the closed shop door, various fine fragrances.
There we would have to absolutely times there, if it had opened...we decided.
For the next day was planned to go to Jo Malone to sniff a few fragrances that are in Germany DC and only in the flagship store on Regent Street to have. (The store of the previous evening had slipped in the memory again quite far to the back)
But as luck would have it, we walked out of the Jo Malone store further to the left up the street until we suddenly smelled a beautiful scent. I said to my friend, "Do you smell that? What is that?" and my friend "Yes it is beautiful and appealing"
We turned around and saw: the shop from the night before! And it was now open. So we went straight inside. The scent practically drew us in. We met a wonderfully good-humored salesman, who took us on the most beautiful Penhaligon's fragrance stories and explained them so wonderfully vividly that we stayed there for 1 hour and sniffed and listened as if spellbound. But one of these many had conquered my ♡. And that was the dear and cuddly Monsieur Beauregard.
(Fun fact: I used to, and still do, love to cuddle with our chickens or roosters)
Since cuddly men have it very easy with me, he had to come with me, there was no way around it. He was no longer out of my head. And so began a great love story with Penhaligon's.
To the fragrance:
He triggers in me the feeling of security and well-being. I wear it mostly on rainy days, when I need the comfort the most. Upon spraying it on, the wonderful powdery scent of iris immediately unfolds accompanied by the freshness of pink pepper. Benzoin joins in and soothes my soul. My head switches off. As it progresses, sandalwood joins in and it feels like I'm wrapping myself in a big cashmere scarf. In the base, tonka bean rounds everything out beautifully. It takes on a slight sweetness.... i notice this scent very well throughout the day. Unisex!
He is just a soul comforter and I am so glad we found each other.
The fragrance that led us to Penhaligon's was Halfeti, by the way, which I still don't own. Why I actually do not know myself exactly. But one should always keep a few beauties in the backhand.
Whoever has read this far: Thanks for reading my reviews!
Kiss goes out!
See you soon
