No.704 Lothair Parfum

Which Should You Buy?
A divisive barbershop, this one. Some swear it's a genre-defining masterpiece, a modern fougere elevated to art. Others find it an overpriced, medicinal mess with too much vanilla. One thing's for sure: it's anything but boring. Sample before you commit to the hefty price tag.
No.704 riffs on Penhaligon's Lothair, opening on a fresh, aromatic blend of citrus and juniper before settling into a powdery, lavender-vanilla base. It's a simpler read than the original's clippership complexity, but the fresh-sweet-powdery mood and surprising longevity carry across well.
