Somewhere in the rolling hills of the English countryside, nestled under a majestic canopy of oaks, the sun is gently rising over a country mansion. Two or three domestic servants are arduously at work drawing baths, opening curtains, lighting fires and viciously beating carpets in preparation for the first family gathering of the day. Might we be permitted to introduce you to the Penhaligon’s Portraits Family.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

This scent smells wonderful but the projection needs a little help. When I first wore this to work I used two sprays. One on each forearm. Nobody seemed to notice. The second time I wore this in addition to the arms I did two sprays to the neck and two sprays to the shirt. Nice projection without leaving a scent trail down the hallway. People noticed this with three feet or so.
I like the fragrance, but I haven’t had anyone comment on the scent, so I assume it must be pretty faint. It confuses me, because I do spray the cologne on multiple areas of my body and it is Eau de Parfum, so it should be pretty strong but I feel it is a bit too weak for my liking; However the smell of the fragrance is quite pleasant. It is complex like it advertises itself to be. Sweet but spicy at the same time. I cannot say that the price I paid was completely justified on the other hand.
Had to chip in because of bad review for broken pump sprayer.
OK, 75ml, 2.5oz, for about $225 (I bought mine at perfume. com). This fragrance is very expensive. Is it "worth it?" Thats up to you. All I can say is that this fragrance is unique, I have never smelled an Eau de Parfume like it, see above for the three fragrance ingredients. I sprayed three pumps on my arm and about five hours later I could not only still smell the fragrance but I could smell it from about a foot or two away. That is how good the fragrance is, and at this price it certainly should be. Like some of the reviews on Youtube said, this Eau de Parfum just smells expensive, and it does. The metal stags head top is something else, but don't buy this for that, (but it is something you will keep).
Finally, about Penhaligon's "Portraits" series. The "Portrait" series are fictional characters and per the card in the box: "What really lies behind the good manners of Britain's aristocracy? You decide..." Of course, this is "tongue in cheek," and a comment on the British aristocracy. The various different metal tops on each fragrance are intriguing.
Please note the difference in the types of men's "scents." The least powerful is the "spray;" next is "aftershave;" then "eau de Cologne, then the "eau de Toilette," then the "Eau de Parfum," then the most concentrated and powerful, and expensive, is the "Parfum ". So you could buy the same brand, but depending on what it is, it could be a completely different "power" of the "scent."
