The World According To Arthur

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Penhaligon’s The World According To Arthur

Penhaligon’s The World According To Arthur, part of the theatrical Portraits collection, is a grand, spiced woody amber with a rich personality.

The Story Behind the Scent

Our interpretation follows the same idea: a bright, spicy opening, a soft powdery heart and a deep amber woody drydown.

We build it as a long lasting Eau de Parfum with a high perfume oil load, made in the EU, so the warmth and spice carry through the evening.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a luxury eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm spicy woody amber scent and wants a luxury style fragrance without the high price.

Notes

Top notes: Bergamot, Cinnamon

Heart notes: Orris

Base notes: Patchouli, Amber, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood

How it Smells

The opening is bright and spicy, bergamot lifted by a warm dusting of cinnamon.

The heart turns soft and powdery, orris smoothing the spice into something refined.

The drydown is deep and warm, patchouli, amber, tonka bean and sandalwood giving a rich, lasting finish.

Common Questions

How close is it to Penhaligon’s The World According To Arthur?

Very close on the character: a spiced, woody amber with a grand, richly layered feel. Penhaligon’s Portraits sit at a high niche price, and our interpretation keeps that opulent warmth for far less.

How can it cost so much less than Penhaligon’s The World According To Arthur?

Most of the price of a luxury eau de parfum fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Penhaligon’s The World According To Arthur?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is made for anyone who loves a warm, spicy, woody amber with real depth.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
