Sartorial by Penhaligon's is an exquisitely crafted aromatic fougère fragrance for men, introduced in 2010. Conceived by the master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, this scent draws inspiration from the ambiance of Norton & Sons, a bespoke tailor on Savile Row. Designed to capture the essence of a tailor’s workshop, Sartorial blends contemporary notes with traditional elements, offering a sophisticated olfactory experience.
The composition opens with a sharp and modern burst of metallic and aldehydic tones, complemented by spicy cardamom, black pepper, fresh ginger, and the aquatic freshness of water notes and violet leaf. These fresh and vibrant top notes gracefully transition into a refined heart where lavender and cyclamen mingle with rich beeswax, supple leather, and delicate linden blossom. The base is a luxurious blend of oakmoss, honey, patchouli, and woody notes, rounded out with creamy vanilla, warm amber, tonka bean, myrrh, white musk, cedar, and gurjan balsam, delivering a long-lasting and memorable dry-down.
