Perfume enthusiasts are raving about Penhaligon's Halfeti, a fragrance often dubbed the 'scent of royalty', which typically costs £215 for a full bottle. However, shoppers can now get a 5ml sample for just £10 as part of the brand's Gentlemen's Fragrance Collection, priced at £50.
The collection includes five 5ml bottles of iconic Penhaligon's scents: Quercus, Blenheim Bouquet, Endymion, Halfeti, and Juniper Sling. While the set is currently listed at £50 on Penhaligon's website, the cost per bottle works out to £10, making the luxury fragrance far more accessible.
Discovery sets like this are a popular way to explore a brand's range without committing to full-sized bottles. The Gentlemen's Fragrance Collection offers 25ml in total, which a fragrance expert notes can last over a month with daily use.
Halfeti, a unisex scent, has garnered an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars on Penhaligon's website. One reviewer described it as 'perfect' and 'smells like royalty', praising its rich notes of black rose, saffron, and oud, as well as its impressive longevity. Another called it their 'signature scent' for three years, noting it receives many compliments.
However, the strong floral and spice blend may be overpowering for some. The set offers an affordable way to test this luxurious fragrance before investing in a larger bottle.
