Oh my god! If you’re looking for something ‘modern,’ stop reading… Master perfumer Morillas has outdone himself with this masterpiece. (Sorry to those who hate such expressive reviews; I just write what I feel). When I thought of a Penhaligon’s fragrance, I imagined something of high quality, sober, elegant, delicious, retro, and classic—perhaps dark and nostalgic. As a self-fulfilling prophecy, it is all of that and more. 100% masculine, 1000% quality, and 10,000% refinement. If it weren’t for the sweet touch, I’d classify it as a spicy woody blend thanks to the tonka bean and wood notes, but that amber, brandy-like sweetness firmly places it as a proper oriental. It’s already my favorite from the brand (until I try others). Nothing youthful; rather, it’s distinguished (ideal for gentlemen over 35). Perfect for temperate or cold climates—not for a tuxedo, but for smart casual. What intrigues me most is the dry-down: that typical Mediterranean touch from Morillas emerges from just four notes; are there hidden notes? Between us, without the 18,500 perfumers on the web knowing, it smells very similar to Guerlain L’Homme L’Eau Boisée. Take it with caution; that’s just my first impression of the dry-down. It’s as dark as the best vetiver you could wish for. A true masterpiece! I annoy those who get annoyed; I write with my heart on my sleeve. Like the ancient Egyptians, I think with my heart first, then with my brain. P.S.: A shout-out to my friend Portia, who sent me this set from Australia with the four new Penhaligon’s fragrances. And a special thanks to Peluzin, who for a long time spoke highly of this British brand, and whose every prediction came true with this marvel. Peluzin, you’re still my ‘nose’ from afar; a thousand thanks, and we continue to agree on our perfume opinions.

Exquisite fragrance. In my opinion, this creates a huge difference between a good perfume and a perfume that is elegant in uppercase.
What a delicious fragrance! Masculine to the max, elegantly sophisticated, addictive, sexy, and dark. If you’re a handsome, mature man looking to impress women, run out and grab the biggest bottle of Lord George by Penhaligon’s, wear it daily, and enjoy your walk.
What a delicious scent! It’s pure masculinity, elegantly over-the-top, addictive, and sexy. If you’re a handsome, mature, classy guy who wants to turn heads, run out and grab the biggest bottle of Lord George by Penhaligon’s, wear it every day, and enjoy the ride.
I was obsessed with this fragrance for a good while… and I idealized it quite a bit. It doesn’t have the longevity I look for, nor the projection I like… The aroma? Very good… very elegant. If the amber, vanilla, and fortified notes are perceived. In the fortified aspect, it vaguely reminds me of CH Privé. In the spiced vanilla aspect, it reminds me of Hugo Boss Bottled in its opening notes. It works as a skin scent. It goes away and suddenly appears. Totally inoffensive. Most people won’t notice it or say anything about it. If you happen to be in an environment where someone gives you a sincere compliment about this fragrance, do everything necessary to keep it in your sights for the rest of your days. For a night out with that person who gave you a compliment to an elegant restaurant where there’s no escape from smells from the kitchen? Very good!! For going early to a meeting where you gather with members of the Government Body to discuss the annual budget distribution? Perfect. For going to do your aerobic exercise routine in the nearest park before dawn? I loved it. In what other situations can you use it? I will continue to inform you.
A good fragrance by the standards of what the perfume fashion demands. A warm, intoxicating, sensuality-charged perfume. Elegant, dark, interesting, and very enjoyable for the first half hour. In the next hour, you’ll have to slowly search for the aroma on your skin, and in two hours, it will be gone. It’s a pity the short longevity and projection.
It’s a fragrance that delivers well on today’s fashion trends. It smells warm, intoxicating, and very sensual—elegant, dark, interesting, and highly enjoyable for the first half-hour. After that, you have to lean in to catch the scent on your skin, and by the two-hour mark, it’s already gone. It’s a shame about that short longevity and projection.
I’m 43 years old and have been crazy about perfumes since I was 14; in my experience, either the bottle is beautiful, or the scent is beautiful, or it lasts a long time; well, this one is all three and more. It’s my second favorite perfume; it lasts a thousand hours on skin, on clothes for days. The perfume cap is beautiful and made of super heavy metal, and most importantly, the scent is so simple and beautiful at the same time, lavender sweetened by tonka bean. Every time I use it, everyone praises me. Super, super recommended.
Reviewed fragrance batch: 83331. Production date: 2018-11-29. Review based on my first impression two hours after trying the fragrance and applying it to skin. As well as my friend Pedro Gil says, although the brand doesn’t declare it, at the start you can feel a well-pronounced lavender. Perhaps this is so because of the combination of all its notes that come out all at once at the beginning and none of them fully defines itself. When this first impact passes, it is when all the declared notes start to define themselves. A scent of wet wood and a very resinous amber is what we can feel (almost tickles the nose); suddenly, that creamy sweetness contributed by the tonka bean and a slight fortified touch appear, making up a set of an elegant British aroma (conservative elegance). Perhaps this last combination of notes and chords can make us think of a vanilla aroma, but no. Ideal fragrance for cold and humid climates. Right now where I live, it has been raining non-stop for several weeks, and I feel very comfortable with it. Since it’s a first impression, I can’t talk about its performance. Although at first, I can tell you that I applied the scent to my hand, and when I walk, I can perfectly perceive its aroma. This fragrance and its story transport me to my trip to northern Scotland with those castles with large halls, walls full of big game hunting trophies, and a large fireplace with burning logs. It’s a fragrance I’ve liked very much. And although it’s not a challenging aroma that’s hard to understand… beyond my personal tastes and due to its high retail price, I can hardly recommend the purchase of this fragrance to someone who isn’t a collector or has tried it before.
Fragrance from batch 83331, produced in November 2018. Review based on my first impression two hours after first wearing it on skin. As Pedro Gil says, even though he doesn’t explicitly state it, the opening clearly features a well-marked lavender. Maybe it’s because at first all the notes come out at once and none really define themselves. Once this initial impact fades, that’s when the ingredients start to emerge. A scent of damp wood and a very resinous amber (almost prickly on the nose), then suddenly that creamy sweetness of tonka bean and a slight brandy touch come together into an elegant, conservative British accord. Maybe this blend makes us think of vanilla, but it doesn’t. Ideal for cold, humid climates; it’s raining nonstop where I live right now, and I feel very comfortable with it. Since this is a first impression, I can’t speak to its longevity, but I can say that when I apply it to my hand and walk around, I perceive its scent perfectly. This fragrance and its story transport me to my trip to northern Scotland, with those castles, grand halls, walls full of hunting trophies, and a fireplace with burning logs. I loved it so much. And although it’s not a challenging or difficult-to-understand scent… beyond my personal tastes and due to its high price, I would hardly recommend buying it to someone who isn’t a collector or hasn’t tried it before.
A fragrance of true luxury. A masculine aroma elevated to the nth degree of class. Imagine a Lord from the 19th century sitting in his garden, next to a tree whose trunk aromas a crystal flask opened where a subtle liquor aroma emanates, not as rough as Bentley for Men, much more restrained, suitable to be taken with a lady’s paste; even more so if we add the faint sweetness, nothing cloying, of a tonka bean that completes the olfactory picture. If it has lavender, it is masterfully polished; the woods are not too dry, neither white nor excessively dark; the fortified note is very well measured but present, and the sweetness of the tonka bean is diabetic-friendly. Everything in this fragrance is measured in detail; Morillas has fine-tuned with a brush to offer a fragrance of olfactory quality on par with the best. Six hours on skin, without being invasive but marking territory, ideal for winter, autumn, and even spring; it’s not a Dior Homme Parfum; the Penhaligon’s one admits more occasions of use, and it could even result in being somewhat sensual, yes, according to the canons of the romantic century. If Enigma by Roja is the semi-alcoholized bohemian, this Penhaligon’s is the adult man capable of controlling his emotions with a single glass in hand. I see it as more appropriate for men 30 and up, absolutely not vintage, but very elegant. And as always, test before buying, because tastes in smells vary.
Probably my favorite perfume. It’s elegant, attractive, masculine, neat, and different. First, consider that I’m a 30-year-old man and I like youthful fragrances for many aspects of my life and intense, masculine ones for others, and honestly, I find the perfect balance in this cocktail. It’s a distinct expression; it reminds me of the barbershop my grandfather took me to when I was little. It has very clean nuances in the dry down: white moss, amber, and something that smells like shaving soap. It has very subtle sweet, vanilla-like notes, tonka bean, toffee, and very roasted coffee, perhaps caramelized roast. A sense of alcohol like cognac or therry predominates, persisting for hours without reaching that boozy ketosis that makes you look like a drunkard, as in many more youthful profiles. It has very balanced wood, tobacco nuances like pipe wood, and fresh notes like dried leaves that fall and get dampened by the rain. It’s rounded, from start to finish; it doesn’t have much evolution, but from my perspective, it’s practically perfect from the beginning. I only find two important problems: the longevity (which, to my taste, is even too limited; the sillage needs to be improved) and the price. It’s a perfume I can use two or three times a day in autumn and winter, and you literally spray out euros.
According to its description, The Tragedy of Lord George smells like shaving foam and warm rum. It is that and much more. The opening is potent, as woody as it is aromatic. There are certainly some undeclared notes: I detect lavender, maybe rosemary? cedar? It’s fresh but classic, fortified yet youthful… Everything is measured to perfection, an exquisitely balanced fragrance. I won’t go into more detail because previous reviews explain it perfectly. Extremely masculine without falling into the clichés of ‘macho’ perfumes. It’s true that the performance leaves much to be desired, but I admit that the sweet wood close to the skin is irresistible. In the Portraits series, very lordly and aristocratic, George is the youngest men’s fragrance. Due to its green and clean touches as well as its moderate projection, I find it versatile across ages and seasons. To my taste, it’s a bit too clean and… perfect. I don’t know, George is a good boy and I tend towards darker, more intense perfumes. Despite not being my Penhaligon’s choice, I encourage readers to go smell it just to appreciate the mastery it emanates.
According to the brand, it smells like shaving foam and hot rum, and it’s exactly that, but with more depth. The opening is powerful, very woody and aromatic. I’m missing some brighter notes: I detect lavender, maybe rosemary? cedar? It’s fresh yet classic, spirited but youthful, everything perfectly measured and balanced. I won’t go deeper because the two previous reviews explain it perfectly. It’s supremely masculine without falling into the ‘macho’ trap. It’s true the performance leaves much to be desired, but I admit that this sweet wood clinging to the skin is irresistible. Since the Portraits series is so severe and aristocratic, George is the youngest gentleman’s fragrance in the line, thanks to those green, clean touches and moderate projection; it seems versatile for all ages and seasons. To my taste, it’s a bit too clean and… perfect. I don’t know, George is a good boy, and I tend toward darker, more intense perfumes. Despite not being my Penhaligon’s pick, I encourage you to sniff it just to appreciate the mastery it exudes.
What a delightful perfume, a unique and enigmatic scent. To call it a masterpiece… I’m not quite ready to say that yet, but it is different and generates admiration in those who smell it. Excellent creation by Mr. Morillas, a perfect balance between each element that takes it out of its temporal context. This beautiful fragrance is incredible.
Delicious and intoxicating, balanced and elegant. A true masterpiece.
One of the best men’s fragrances in this line. It starts with earthy and herbal notes, evolving into something very clean. Lasts about 6 hours. There are many similar ones on the market, but it’s worth buying.
What a charming thing. Sometimes I see dry, rough wood, polished with enthusiasm and with an alcoholic touch. Other times I see the flowers, intoxicating and indolic, yet discreet, camouflaged in the wood. Maybe jasmine? The Penhaligon’s page talks about ‘shaving soap.’ A great cleanliness is noticeable at first sniff, but as you keep your nose close, the optical illusion changes the white foam into flowers. Maybe it’s called ‘Tragedy’ because it hides a vulnerable, pathetic nuance. Yesterday I saw the movie Chicago, whose main plot consists of the protagonist’s use of pathos to get out of jail (and become famous). This Tragedy of Lord George makes me think of a version starring a man.
The truth is, I was super excited about the reviews and delighted to be able to try it, and that’s exactly what happened: I applied it many times and several times a day. The truth is, in my opinion, I couldn’t even smell it on my skin; I don’t really know why. My goal wasn’t to receive compliments or anything, but I didn’t get a single one, so I don’t know if it was just me or if the day just didn’t match the use. I’ll give it another chance in another outing and update the review. Talking about the little scent this fragrance gave me, the truth is, in my taste, I loved it, but that said, it’s not suitable for everyone. From there on out, I’m super delighted with the scent and everything, but as I mention, in longevity and projection, absolutely nothing; I couldn’t even smell it on my skin.
The truth is, everything I’ve tried by Alberto Morillas has poor longevity. He’s a very good and beloved perfumer, but personally, it’s not that great, especially with what I mentioned before: everything I have by Alberto Morillas from different houses has nefarious longevity. I had in mind to buy this perfume until I saw the perfumer was him; I’m not going to pay to reapply every two hours.
It’s a fragrance for adults; a certain level of perfume experience and age adapts well to it. It’s excellent aromatically but very weak on overall performance. The Tragedy of Lord George is an elegant, fairly reserved, and subtle fragrance that shows appropriate presence for the first two hours and has a pleasant effect thanks to a favorable blend that makes you feel good, while simultaneously conveying class and sobriety. The scent itself is quite simple and linear. But totally masculine. Pure masculinity. It’s not the typical barber-shop aroma; initially, a bitter shaving cream note appears (it seems like one based on lavender and rose, I also smell something herbal, but very delicate and doesn’t remind me at all of the overdose of post-shave lotion used in glorious past decades) that quickly blends with a bit of brandy and is sweetened with tonka beans. It has the right proportion between classic and modern, with certain doses of sensuality. Without a doubt, cold weather is ideal for wearing this fragrance, which is a good alternative for noses sensitive to powerful fougères and want something versatile in their collection. Try it on skin to see if the performance suits you before buying.
Certainly, this is a fragrance for an adult audience, but a truly adult one: at least 45 or 50 years old. It’s a very aromatic and masculine scent that reminds me a bit of fragrances from the past, those from the 70s and 80s. So it’s an old-school smell, a bit like old-fashioned shaving lotion… the kind your grandfather used, which today could easily be 90 years old. I agree that it’s a linear fragrance with no evolution, suitable for informal occasions, preferably in autumnal (leaning towards cold) climates. On my nose, it has a certain resemblance to Grey Flannel, which costs about 20 times less than this niche perfume. At $350 for 75ml… for me, it’s not worth it.
I don’t think you need to be a 50-year-old man to wear this fragrance. I’m a lawyer under 30, and in formal and professional settings, it’s enchanting. It’s the perfume I usually use for formal meetings. I don’t know if it’s psychological, but it’s a fragrance that conveys security. ‘Here I am.’ Lots of personality.
Love and hate: this perfume smells very green at first, but once it dries down, it personally reminds me of Williams Dura. Normally it lasts about 7 hours on my skin, but in the cold it lasts around 15 hours, no joke. I love it; I’d say it’s one of the few Penhaligon’s that projects a 7/10.
I haven’t found any similar fragrance to it; the opening is a bit sharp with a mature body, so I see it strictly as something to wear formally.
The opening doesn’t last a minute; it smells very alcoholic and nothing like what it promises. That sensation fades to reveal something more serene, with a bitter green and aromatic touch. There’s also an alcoholic note I can’t quite identify that conveys elegance and denotes a classic scent I find hard to get used to. In my opinion, the opening isn’t favored. Yes, but no. Gradually, what it projects changes: it becomes a vintage woody scent with a subtle sweet contribution, perhaps tonka bean. This major shift from top to middle and base notes isn’t altered by many accords. A bitter, aromatic start, then woody with a touch of sweetness. In the later stages, two hours and beyond, a patchouli emerges that doesn’t quite fit for me; I don’t enjoy it. That said, I always perceive it as a vintage, very masculine fragrance with an elegant but above all mature bearing. It’s good, but for those occasions, I stick with other options. It’s one of the few Penhaligon’s that raises doubts, mainly in the opening. After that, everything fits better and I end up liking it. Performance is fair and it’s best for cold weather.
For me, this fragrance opens with a very Morillas-like green top note: fresh, clean, and botanical, awakening the senses without being aggressive. It then evolves into an exquisite, elegant, and well-balanced woody heart. What I love most about Lord George is its innate class: it has presence without being heavy; you can tell it’s well-thought-out. It’s perfect for daily wear or the office because it doesn’t invade personal space but leaves you looking elegant and discreet.
