What do reviewers say about The Favourite and Perfect?
Penhaligon's nailed the balance here. The powdery florals could easily tip into old-fashioned territory, but the warm mimosa and clean sandalwood keep this contemporary and wearable.The Favourite
This one feels like a hug from someone who actually gets you. The Rhubarb keeps it real, the Almond Milk keeps it soft, and the Cashmeran keeps it cozy.Perfect
