At the age of 26, I bought myself a 27-year-old birthday present──Penhaligon Clandestine Clara

I often know a person through perfume, and the smell can really show a person's temperament, or the image he wants to convey subjectively. In other words, a person's temperament can also be freely switched through the different perfumes worn that day. I also choose different perfume combinations according to who I meet at work every day, the importance of the meeting, the mood of the day, and even the style of dressing.

If I need a calmer mood for work that day, I will spray vetiver with a woody smell to help stabilize my emotions, or sometimes it is not to stabilize my own emotions, but when I want the other person to calm down (?) I'll spray vetiver.

If it’s a day like Friday, when my heart has already flown out of the office, I usually pair it with iris, black currant, and rose. This kind of sweeter and more presumptuous aroma seems to be able to run away in the next second. The mood of going out to the office for an outing to bask in the sun~

If it's Monday, a day with a sense of work ritual, I'll wear a "softer" rose fragrance, with a little bergamot, precious Damascus rose, and a little bit of musk. Woody notes can be present, but not too much, and the soft floral main note of Damascus cannot be taken away. With a little fresh citrus flavor of bergamot, the already soft scent of Damascus rose will not be too monotonous.

If it is a date day, I will ignore the above, I don’t care about gentleness~ temperament~ calmness~, I just want to be the person I want to be, at this time I will spray on the sweetness of vanilla and lavender , but not too sweet aroma. Vanilla is a very sweet aroma, but the sweetness must be restrained, so adding lavender, which has a calming effect, is really a great astringent combination! If you don’t smell it carefully, it’s hard to find that there is lavender in the perfume, but if you smell it carefully, you can still smell lavender. The lavender stays quietly and doesn’t overwhelm the host, because his intention is not to be noticed by you, but to restrain the vanilla The sweetness of the sweetness, so that the sweetness can be controlled just right, without feeling like falling into the greasy candy pool~ This kind of fragrance has a high rate of return, whether it is a boy or a girl. In my life, I was approached because of the fragrance This is it!

As a heavy player of perfume, after smelling the perfumes of all major brands, of course, I would like to have a more advanced attempt. Penhaligons is like another hall of perfume heavy players, of course you can’t miss it~ When I first entered Penhaligon’s store in Breeze Xinyi, I felt that my "hearing, sight, and smell" were all used by the cabinet sister Psychedelic voice and nice story cover. I still remember that it was the first time I visited in 2017. Naturally, it is impossible to miss the animal head series that was launched in 2017. The story of this series is set, and each animal capital is an upper-class character in the British aristocracy. The cabinet sister will tell you the story line, and help you choose the most suitable perfume according to your personality and favorite fragrance ~

After listening to the story, I felt that "Clandestine Clara", the peacock-head mistress, is really a beautiful woman full of willfulness, courage, and self-confidence. Of course~ this peacock is with "Lord George" Lord George's buck, and also Giving birth to the illegitimate son "Roaring Radcliff" lion, peacocks and lions are animals that cannot be ignored, have both high appearance and high ornamental value, do you think their smell can be unruly, courageous, and unconfident? ><

So I immediately decided to smell Clara, her fragrance is as follows:

Fragrance: Woody oriental

Top notes: vanilla, rum

Middle note: cinnamon, musk

Aftertaste: Amber, Patchouli, Woody

Her smell is very suitable for wearing in winter. When I first sprayed it, the smell of vanilla and rum is a very attractive but refreshing wine smell, which makes people raise their eyebrows and think "Oh? You What do you want to do XD?" It seems that you can understand but can't fully guess what the other person is thinking. It is a sense of mystery, like a hook that hooks you and makes you want to continue to learn more.

Perfume is really the single product that can best reveal a person's personality and temperament. Spraying this perfume is like wearing a mysterious veil, giving people an unpredictable feeling, just like Clara's mistress character, she is a female peacock , she is a female peacock with a beautiful tail that does not conform to the laws of biology. It feels like "It's her business that other female peacocks don't have colorful tails, but I must have~" that kind of willful and powerful feeling XD

But the secret of Clara's long-term mistress position is that her middle note and woody aftertaste are still eye-catching and cannot be ignored, but her warm tobacco flavor will fully knead Into your skin, even if the nose is attached to the skin, it will not feel pungent. It is a very comfortable and mature smell~ It is very similar to the way of getting along between couples. At the beginning, it is based on appearance attractiveness, But the secret to being able to go for a long time is to get along with each other freely~

After visiting the custom-made fragrances of major luxury brands, I really think that Penhaligon is very powerful. It is worthy of being a century-old store in London. , more or less there will be some inspirational stories of the founders when they made perfumes, but Penhaligon's animal head series is completely a combination of stories and fragrances.

It sells more than just fragrance, it also sells "feeling", which is a kind of consumer impulse shopping, and after returning home with the booty, he can still take the story in his mind and savor every detail of the perfume before, after, and after. "feel". You say, is this marketing very advanced? This is also one of the few brands that makes me feel "Well, this kind of marketing is the height that our communicators must achieve!"

However, the price of the animal head series is really not cheap. I remember that I told the cabinet sister that I need to think about it, and then I turned around and went to the restroom of Xinyi Breeze to sort out my mood, and then went back to the cabinet to swipe the same China Airlines round trip ticket , and then tell myself that it’s almost my 27th birthday, and it’s worth treating yourself better! (This sentence pattern later appeared many times on birthdays of different ages)

In addition to the animal head perfume, I also bought Penhaligon and lip balm, so many treasures fell out of my shopping bag! Including perfume silk scarves, posters, portable perfume, fans, and perfume bath series, the picture looks really luxurious ~ and Clara is also regarded as the main feature, placed on the fan ~ really super beautiful! ! !

Of course, there will be other experience of buying Penhaligon in the follow-up, and I have not only received one in the animal head series ><I will share it later, if you/you have a favorite perfume, please be sure to share it with me in the comment below.
