Which Should You Buy?
A strikingly modern take on the gourmand-leather archetype, Finley blends creamy pistachio and matcha with a salty, spicy kick and a shadowy leather base. Unmistakably Penhaligon's - distinctive, daring, and addictive.
This one is a divisive gem. You'll either get an "inky masterpiece" or a "dental office scrub" - there's very little middle ground for this unique take on the Encre Noire DNA. Prepare for strong opinions.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Finley's warm spicy and salty-leather profile is best suited to cooler weather, especially fall and winter, where its richness and warmth envelop without overwhelming. The salty-green aspects keep it wearable in spring, but it may feel dense for hot summer days.
Occasions
The refined spicy-leather character makes it ideal for dates and formal events, offering intrigue without being brash. Its moderate projection suits casual wear, but the richness and salt-leather signature are too bold for the gym or highly professional settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh yet sophisticated character make it suitable for a range of occasions; it's clean enough for the office but intriguing enough for a date. While some found the performance lacking, others found it to be moderate at an arm's length, suggesting it's versatile but not a beastly projector.
