Pegwell

Pegwell is a herbal, aromatic Parfum made as a snapshot of the salt marshes of Pegwell Bay on the Kent coast. Dulcie, formerly Haeckels, describes the wild scent of fennel and birch bottled with a twist of black pepper and a squeeze of juniper. The opening is fennel, bright and green, with a sharp citrus snap, bitter orange and a cool mint note. Peppery herbs and juniper come next, then vetiver in a clean, mineral and slightly salty drydown. It smells very British, nothing like a medicinal bath, in the line of classic British aromatic colognes only stronger. It is a concentrated Parfum. Two sprays are plenty, it is strong on skin even in hot weather, and it can be sharp if sprayed too close, so a little extra distance helps. Longevity is long and the trail strong. After about two hours a clean, synthetic-feeling woody note takes over for some noses and spoils the fennel. If you like fennel, juniper and green herbs and want something fresh and long-lasting for spring and summer days, this is the one to try.
