The Tragedy of Lord George
Penhaligon's The Tragedy of Lord George smells like old wood warmed by the sun, with brandy laid over the top.

How it moves
Up top: brandy, lavender and sage. Enjoy them; they will not stay. Then the heart turns up — Tonka Bean, geranium and carrot seed — and the whole thing slows down. The base is sandalwood, vanilla, amber and leather. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
Who made it
Christian Provenzano composed it in 2016, for Penhaligon's in United Kingdom. The launch fragrance of the Portraits collection, whose absurdist aristocratic backstory and stag-head cap made the line a retail phenomenon. Built on brandy, tonka and sandalwood.
