Shoppers can snap up Penhaligon's 'rich' £215 scent for £8
'The perfume has a strong smell, I would definitely recommend this and will purchase more as the quality is great'
Shoppers can get dad a 'long lasting' luxury scent for less this Father's Day with this handy trick. A bottle of Halfeti by Penhaligon's typically retails at an eye-watering £215 a bottle - but there's a way to get an authentic bottle for £8.
The Gentlemen's Fragrance Collection is a £40 gift set containing five 5ml bottles of the brand's best-selling scents for men, making each bottle £8. They are on the smaller side however our team fragrance expert, who wears perfume every single day, insists this set could easily last a few months with regular use and that they're a great way to trial scents before committing to a pricey full-sized bottle.
Fragrance discovery sets have definitely been more popular lately, with fragrances reacting to each person's skin differently it's a great way to figure out if something is a match. Maison Margiela similarly have a Mini Discovery Set with two 7ml bottles of Beach Walk and By the Fireplace for £35 on Sephora. There's also a Tom Ford Signature Mini Discovery Set for £24 at LookFantastic - although each bottle is less than 2ml.
Inside the Penhaligon's set are five 5ml bottles of the brand's iconic scents. Shoppers can find:
Quercus (Top notes are Amalfi Lemon, Lime, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine and Cardamom; base notes are Oakmoss, Musk, Galbanum, Sandalwood and Amber)
Blenheim Bouquet (Top note is lemon, middle note is Lavender and base note is Pine)
Endymion (Top notes are Lavender, Bergamot, Sage and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Coffee and Geranium; base notes are Leather, Sandalwood, Cardamon, Myrhh, Nutmeg, Black Pepper, Musk, Incense, Vetiver and Olibanum)
Halfeti (Top notes are Cypress Leaf, Saffron, Cardamom, Artemisia, Bergamot and Grapefruit; middle notes are Bulgarian Rose, Nutmeg and Jasmine; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Cedar, Leather, Sandalwood, Amber, Tonka Bean, Vanilla and Musk)
Juniper Sling (Top notes are Juniper Berries, Orange, Angelica and Cinnamon; middle notes are Pepper, Cardamom, Leather and Orris Root; base notes are Vetiver, Sugar, Cherry and Amber)
Halfeti is the brand's best-seller in this set and has an average rating of 4.7 out of five over on the Penhaligon's website. One shopper said: "This fragrance might not be everyone's cup of tea but I absolutely love it. Its spicy and long lasting and my favourite from the brand. Always receive compliments when wearing it. I would suggest to get a sample first and try it out before buying a full bottle."
A second wrote: "Love the smell it lasts for ever. Lovely strong smell makes me feel the rich haha. The perfume has a strong smell I would definitely recommend this and will purchase more as the quality is great. Great as gift for loves one."
A third wasn't too impressed, saying: "It is a very strong perfume and a couple of squirts on my wrists lasted all day. It has a musky, oriental aroma and although I do like it, I think for me personally, it is better suited as a winter perfume."
A fourth added: "This is a beautiful very high end perfume. I absolutely love this brand. So elegant and classy. A little bit of any of these perfumes really does go a long way! I would highly recommend this perfume. It's stunning."
