Halfeti Leather (EDP)

Halfeti Leather Even so stoic Englishmen can't resist the exotic delights found in Penhaligon's Halfeti Leather, a potion so deliciously intoxicating, that it immediately falls at its feet. Warm, strong and reassuring all at once.

Named after the small Turkish village of Halfeti (Turkey), which overlooks the banks of the Euphrates. In spring the surrounding valleys are filled with the fragrance of the very rare black rose, which grows and is cultivated only in those places.

This species of rose blooms in minimal quantities, only once a year, and has an unusual characteristic that distinguishes it: as soon as it opens its petals are dark red, while at the end of flowering they become irrefutably black. An opulent, flowery, woody and warm and intriguing composition ... the red roses appear black, so intense that it is their magic.

The beginning of Halfeti Leather, is gritty and bold bergamot and a subtle fusion of citrus, accompanied by sweeter notes of lavender, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon. When the haze begins to settle, the full-bodied and intoxicating base notes of oud, patchouli and, of course, leather remain.
