Original Penguin Premium Blend is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Harry Frémont. Premium Blend opens with Bergamot, Lime, and Mint, settles into a heart of Salt, Sea Water, Green, and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Driftwood, Musk, and Vetiver. Original Penguin's Premium Blend carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This budget-friendly aquatic freshie is a crowd-pleasing summer staple for many, though its fleeting performance can be a real sore point. If you want a casual, fresh burst that won't break the bank, and don't mind reapplying often, it's a solid choice.

About

Premium Blend opens with a zesty, cooling splash of bergamot, lime, and peppermint, immediately invoking a fresh, invigorating sensation. As it dries, a salty marine heart emerges, blending with a touch of green violet leaf and aromatic rosemary. The scent settles into a relaxed base of soft musk and earthy driftwood, maintaining a clean, understated presence.
