Ugh, a rare and complex perfume. I was told it has an ironing effect, and I share that: that hot steam over fabrics. It has many metallic notes, though not as obvious as lemon; I associate metallic with something cold and distant, and here it’s subtle. In this modernist take on the fougère, you can sense the hidden lavender and the more present oakmoss, but with so many nuances and shifts, it doesn’t bore the young. At first, there’s an ozonic freshness and sweet beeswax that fit well, although the freshness usually doesn’t last long. Then a leather note enters, which isn’t my favorite, alongside woods. Later, things relax, and a faint honey appears by surprise, along with the usual (oakmoss and that ironing accord, which could be lavender and metals, I’m not sure). On top of that, I notice a floral note that other lists say is cyclamen, but I’m not certain. It’s a rare bird and an experience to analyze; you might like it or not later; it hasn’t won me over. Regarding performance, I thought it would be poor due to its low profile, but it lasts about 10 hours or more.
Sartorial by Penhaligon’s: the essence of the English Gentleman in a bottle. A barbering jewel signed by Bertrand Duchaufour. It’s the perfect example that in perfumery, it’s not always the composition that fails, but the execution and ingredient quality. Why do I hate Brut and adore Sartorial? I tried it: people say Brut smells like an old man, but Sartorial makes you think ‘mmm, smells like my grandparents’ house.’ The opening is identical to Faberge’s Brut, but within seconds, the quality surpasses the olfactory memory. We appreciate lavender in all its splendor with light metallic notes, followed by oakmoss that dominates the dry down, softened by beeswax, honey, tonka bean, vanilla, and refreshing ginger. Then come flashes of thick patchouli, cardamom, and cedar, creating a spicy touch. The finish features myrrh, amber, and musk for depth, while neroli brings us back to classic barber shop freshness. Sometimes it reminds me of the earthy freshness of Amouage’s Bracken Man. Promising! Projection is excellent, and the bottle is beautiful and classic. Ideal for the office or serious affairs. Recommended for cool climates.
Total barbershop fragrance, like stepping into an elegant, classy barbershop with woods, but everything modernized. It’s definitely not old-fashioned. It’s a mix of luxury shaving creams with a honey frame around it. Very few recreate the barbershop scent like Sartorial. Without excessive projection, its longevity is confusing and might seem like it doesn’t last, yet it does last hours. It leaves a short trail, and whoever gets close will think you just got out of the shower and had a good shave and haircut. I’m not sure how much women will like it, as it’s a scent ‘between men’s things’. Nevertheless, every man will like it and identify it as ‘this gentleman has a VERY good recent shave’.
As some said before me, a perfume that conveys elegance and cleanliness. It opens with a swirl of notes where lavender and the sweetness of honey stand out for me. An excellent example of how to create something new on old foundations. What surprised me most is its longevity, higher than average for this type of fragrance; I can still detect the scent on my skin without problem after many hours.
It smells more like Penhaligon’s than reinventing the wheel; it has a ‘I know what I’m doing’ vibe and smells really good, following the house’s ABC. It’s a honeyed lavender but not sweet, floral, green, mossy… it has endless nuances. You can sense the quality and the care Penhaligon’s puts into it. The performance isn’t very high, and the price is there. I sense something metallic (or when I declare it, I want to feel it) and spices. Overall, it denotes elegance without being invasive, a cleanliness that dresses you up without being too much, smells classic but not old. It’s a very good proposal, although I lose track of the price-to-performance ratio. I don’t want it to buzz more, but I miss greater longevity, as after a few hours it’s already skin-scent only. Still, it’s a very interesting option. It doesn’t move well in extreme heat or intense cold. For formal occasions or office days to feel good. More masculine.
Another Penhaligon’s scent that, without reinventing the wheel, has a ‘I know it really smells good’ vibe, and following the house’s ABC, it’s elegant. It’s a honeyed lavender but not a sweet floral, green, mossy… it has an endless array of nuances. You can perceive the quality and care Penhaligon’s puts into every fragrance tested. The performance isn’t very high, and the price is there. I sense something metallic (or I want to feel it when I declare it) and spices. Overall, it denotes elegance without being invasive, cleanliness that dresses you up but isn’t over the top, smells like a classic aroma but not old. It’s a very good proposal; what escapes me is the price-to-performance ratio. I don’t want it to buzz more, but I miss greater longevity since after a few hours it feels skin-scent. Still, it’s a very interesting option. It doesn’t move well in hot or extremely cold periods. For formal occasions or office days to feel good. More masculine.
Simply put, for me, this is the Holy Grail of perfumery, the end of the road. I say it as clearly as that. In my opinion, the best makeup a woman can wear is the kind that isn’t worn or isn’t noticeable. Sartorial is exactly that: it doesn’t smell like perfume. It smells like super clean clothes. It smells SO beautiful, SO clean, SO cozy, that people won’t know if you’re wearing perfume or if you’re the cleanest person in the world. People will wonder if you showered with waters from the fountains of Zeus’s daughters or if your clothes were washed by a choir of archangels. It’s the olfactory expression of an obsession with cleanliness.

It smells so beautiful, so clean, so cozy that people doubt if you’re wearing perfume or if you’re the cleanest person in the world.

This is the olfactory expression of an obsession with cleanliness.
I love it. It’s one of those perfumes I feel the need to wear always. As a fougère lover, I say it’s a modern reinvention of a classic style, much like Tom Ford did with Beau de Jour (for me, one of the best current fougères). Explosive, spicy, and slightly citrusy opening. You can sense something aniseed, though it’s not declared. The dry down goes to the classic concept of the style, on the same wavelength as Loewe Pour Homme but without so much citrus load and very similar to Azzaro Pour Homme, just more refined and less sweet. Good longevity, more than 8 hours. There are moments it seems like it’s not there, but it’s still following. The pleasure of putting it on right after a shower is a delight. A very modern classic.

Sophistication, neatness… a masterpiece. This is truly the seventh art. I love it because it’s such a subtle and pleasant scent that gives the sensation of being your own body odor, but that of an angel or a god from Olympus. All the notes are perfectly geared together; I perceive a honeyed fougère thanks to the honey. I advise perfume lovers to try it once in a lifetime.

British subtlety is something very special, just like in Sartorial. Delicately spiced, it has a dry elegance and lightness that leaves a subtle mark. I think they took great care in creating it so no ingredient would alter the structure. The result is masterful: the fragrance pyramid takes a certain risk with cardamom, ginger, pepper, violet, patchouli, and myrrh… it’s easy to fail, but not here. It’s a breath of old-time masculinity and elegance adapted for today. From the start, it impresses with its coordinated and unusual concept, a fine note that blends with an earthy nuance. As it develops, the violet complements a subtle mentholated sweetness. The pepper is used masterfully, enhancing the heart without falling into powdery territory. The texture game is great: fabric, paper, leather, wax… it evokes craftsmanship at cutting tables and ironing machines. It recalls exquisite manners from decades past. It’s a mature fragrance that doesn’t feel outdated or boring, but it lacks a bit of presence.
Wonderful fougère with a sweet honey twist that makes it irresistible. After trying a decant, I decided to buy it in less than 5 minutes, choosing it over other options. It’s clean, elegant, neat, and comforting. It’s a must-try. Edit one month later: pity the longevity and projection. I sprayed it at 12 PM with over 10 sprays, and by 4 PM it was barely noticeable. It’s true that you can’t expect it to be overpowering, but there are EDTs that perform better, and this isn’t cheap… it’s a shame because I love the scent.
Sartorial is a perfume that changes my mood. I only use it on cold days when I’m usually serious, serene, and contemplative; if not, it doesn’t fit me. It’s a nostalgic perfume that smells like old-school neatness, an era that smelled vaguely when I was small in my grandparents’ houses. It smells clean, lavender, a touch metallic and sweet… it’s not fresh but not heavy, it smells like super clean clothes steaming after ironing with product. It’s a very good scent because it EVOKES things, it’s a journey. It’s also a Penhaligon’s best seller because I believe THIS is the one that does the most honor to the brand’s aesthetic (unfortunately, English Fern was discontinued). By the way, I don’t understand the comparison with Brut; they don’t seem similar to me 🤷
Sartorial completely changes my mood. I only wear it on cold days when I want to feel serious and contemplative; otherwise, it bothers me. It smells nostalgic, like old-school cleanliness, reminiscent of the smell of my home when I was a kid at my grandparents’ house. It’s a clean scent with lavender, a metallic touch, and a sweet note… it’s not fresh, but not heavy either; it smells like perfectly ironed clothes. It’s great because it evokes memories, it’s a journey. Plus, it’s a Penhaligon’s best seller that best honors the brand’s aesthetic (unfortunately, English Fern is no longer available). By the way, I don’t understand the comparison with Brut; to me, they have nothing to do with each other 🤷
Classic scent with great quality, very neat and elegant. The only downside is that it has almost zero projection. I understand that for a perfume like this, you don’t expect it to make a loud statement, but you do expect it to be noticeable. Otherwise, it’s all positive. I recommend it for spring or autumn; it gets lost in winter, and there are better options for summer.
