I’m teaming up with Jerry Drake again (he sent me the sample). Penthouse Powerful is one of those simple, humble perfumes that win your heart by giving way more than its segment usually offers. To me, it smells very much like Boss Bottled: sweet woods, fruity and apple notes, maybe a hint of cinnamon. Very pleasant and well-constructed. It far exceeds its price point. The performance is decent, nothing more, nothing less. I think it’s a great option for daily wear without any regrets. One of those bottles you always keep on the shelf, and you reach for it almost without thinking.
If you were a teenager in the late 70s and 80s, the name of this house surely brings to mind a magazine that wasn’t exactly educational but was a huge hit of the time:-) Penthouse Powerful isn’t a heavy fragrance as its name suggests; instead, it’s extremely pleasant and delicate. In the opening, it reminds me of Midnight in Paris; the composition features ginger, coriander, black pepper, musk, and lemon leaves, giving you an idea of the final product, which is quite fresh and spicy. Anyway, considering the absolutely tempting price, I think it’s an option that delivers more than expected for this price range, giving you the feeling of something high-end. Optimal if you don’t want to spend big on your top fragrances but still want to feel good for a couple of hours.
