Penhaligons: Halfeti Cedar

Sunny weather. 

I got a tiny dabber vial secondhand and let it have several days of rest before testing, to avoid any potential oddity caused by mail shock. Even upon first application, it sits quite close to the skin. It lasted about four hours in warm, humid weather.

The scent opens up very woody, and is reminiscent of coconut husk. Not the meat or the oil, but the fibrous exterior that gets peeled away from the hard shell. There's a dry spicy quality to it that hovers on the edges and slowly comes forward over time. At the end of its life, the scent takes on a salty, beachy tone that blends wonderfully with smoked spices and powdered sandalwood.

A chic unisex for the summer that would go quite well with a plain white tee.
