Penhaligon's Marylebone Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Marylebone Wood opens with Grapefruit, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Penhaligon's's Marylebone Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is definitely a divisive beast. Some adore its powerful, complex woodiness, while others find it a bit too much, synthetic, or lacking originality. Approach with caution and definitely sample first, especially if you're not a fan of strong, woody oud-like scents.

About

Opens with a fleeting flash of grapefruit before diving headfirst into a rich, dense forest of woody accords. Expect a journey through dry sandalwood, a pronounced vetiver, and robust cedar, all underpinned by an earthy patchouli. A warm amber adds a touch of sweetness, evoking the sticky sap of the tree rather than light citrus, culminating in a sophisticated, somewhat smoky trail.
