Fragrance twins: The enigma of perfection and preference
This smells exactly like Marc Jacob's Perfect, only with a higher proportion of oils than alcohol. Apart from that, I can't smell any difference. You might as well save the money. The only tiny difference I can perhaps say is this: you could argue that Perfect gives off a fizzy quality than The Favourite, which is due to the ratio of oil to alcohol. On the other hand, The Favourite conveys a more restrained demeanor due to its higher oil content. Aside from these nuances, it seems unnecessary to me to own the other if you have one. I tend to diversify my olfactory portfolio rather than acquire too many due to the perceived luxury of the prices. The longevity in this case is the same for both. about 4 hours on my clothes, less on my skin.

Beautiful scent, but gives me a headache.
My nose has progressively become hyper-sensitive since I first started collecting perfumes. I bought myself a 30 ml for Christmas alongside Elisabethan Rose at the Liverpool Penhaligon's boutique after trying some from a 5 ml sample in November. At the time this was the most beautiful scent I've ever tried, I thought that if I could pick one perfume to wear in heaven this would be it. But ever since buying my bottle I've only used 5 ml in 8 months because it gives me a headache. This is massively strong and I continue to wear this from time to time despite the somatic reaction I get.

The Favourite is a favorite
Last night I slept with Penhaligon The Favourite on my wrists. It was quite enjoyable, indeed. I can see why they named it The Favourite.

The nose behind this fragrance is Alienor Massenet.

Top notes are Violet, Freesia and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Mimosa (a fav of mine), iris and Jasmine Sambac (another fav); base notes are Musk, Sandalwood and Ambroxan.

It’s a lovely scent good for anytime of the day or night. I really enjoyed taking it to bed with me and plan on another tryst soon enough.
