Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

The powdery iris, sweet benzoin, and creamy woods make this ideal for spring and fall, with enough warmth for winter evenings. It may feel too heavy and sweet for hot summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its discreet projection and refined powdery sweetness suit office and date settings, while the creamy woods and iris make it appropriate for formal occasions. Too sophisticated for sporty or athletic use.

About

Monsieur Beauregard Eau de Parfum envelops you in a suave blend of powdery iris, creamy benzoin, and soft woods, accented by the gentle sparkle of lemon and pink pepper. The opening is a fleeting citrus and spice, soon giving way to the star iris - orris heart, plush and elegant, with a sweet resinous undertone. Sandalwood and tonka lend a creamy, cozy finish, while patchouli grounds the composition in a subtle earthiness. Understated and quietly confident, this Penhaligon's Portraits scent feels like a velvet smoking jacket worn with effortless charm.
