ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

For the uninitiated, Penhaligon’s Portraits collection is a series that’s “quite unique from the more traditional Penhaligon’s fragrances,” the brand explains on its website. “Portraits perfume bottles are different, too, made with slightly heavier glass bases than our classic bottles. Each one is topped with a hand polished animal head, inspired by the character they present.”

New to the collection, The Omniscient Mr Thompson features an elephant cap, evoking the concept of “an elephant in the room”. For this scent with an immense and commanding presence, just a few drops allow it to linger all day.

The olfactory portrait opens with an infusion of gentle yet sparkling spices, setting the stage for an enchanting woody aroma. The captivating whiff of powdery orris leads the way to a velvety sesame milk note, while a rich and sweet vanilla bean subtly unveils its alluring sensuality. Even after its wearer leaves the room, The Omniscient Mr Thompson leaves an imperceptible trail, ensuring their presence is remembered.
