When I was to Budapest I bought a Penhaligon’s Scent Library set. I haven’t tried anything by this perfume house before and felt like this would be a great introduction to their ten most popular scents.
This way I can try them all out in peace at home, pick one or two favorites and order them online! No annoying (and useless) paper blotters, no recurring visits to a retailer store in order to test the same fragrance over and over again before making up my mind, no fuss.












I love Penhaligon – and I also love those little tester tubes. They are brilliant for packing for weekends away, and for tiny evening bags.
Which one is your favorite, Jane? I haven’t started testing yet:)
I like Elixir best, for evenings out somewhere nice. I like quite deep, musky perfumes. For daytime I tend to go for things that smell of roses rather than lemons.
