The Tragedy of Lord George

The Tragedy of Lord George was released in September 2016 among the first four fragrances of Portraits, the collection in which Penhaligon’s gives each fragrance the face of a member of an English aristocratic family. Alberto Morillas composed it, as a 75 ml eau de parfum.

The patriarch

Lord George is the head of the Portraits family: a wealthy and respected patriarch, loyal to king and country, who embodies the virtue, loyalty and devotion of the aristocracy. Yet the house says he is less flawless than he seems, and his fragrance hides secrets.

Penhaligon’s presents him as a noble patriarch, a model of masculine elegance, who welcomes his visitors with a smell of shaving soap and warm rum. It says the fragrance is made for a man whose reputation outlives him, and sums it up in three words: rich, noble, deceptive.
