Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy Eau de Parfum 75 ml

Part of the Portrait collection from this British perfumery, this eau de parfum is anything but soft and cuddly. A single spray begins a journey with smouldering incense, giving way to warm leather notes before settling into musky ambroxan in the base. Terrible Teddy by Penhaligon's is a 2019 leather fragrance for men by perfumer Quentin Bisch. Inspired by the charismatic and enigmatic character from the Portraits collection, this perfume delivers a blend of animalic power and elegant sophistication. The fragrance opens with dark, smoky notes of incense that create a mysterious, balsamic opening and evoke an atmosphere of sensuality with a subtly religious edge. The heart of the fragrance is leather, which plays a central role here and gives the perfume a deep, animalic character with a touch of masculine elegance. The leather accord is smooth, sensual and naturally captivating, giving the impression of raw power and strength. This intense note is the centerpiece of the fragrance, exuding charisma and strength. Ambroxan appears in the base, giving the composition a warm, slightly musky depth with hints of smoky and amber notes. This ingredient lends the fragrance long-lasting longevity and a slightly powdery accent that softens the overall impression and adds a modern sophistication. Terrible Teddy is an ideal choice for men who appreciate strong, charismatic and mysterious fragrances with an animalic touch.
