The Tragedy of Lord George

The Tragedy of Lord George is the fragrance of the patriarch of Portraits, the Penhaligon’s collection, composed by Alberto Morillas and launched in 2016. This woody scent with fougère accents welcomes you with a smell of shaving soap and warm rum. The house places rum at the top, tonka bean at the heart and ambroxan in the base.

Alberto Morillas built The Tragedy of Lord George as a woody scent with fougère accents. The house places rum at the top, tonka bean at the heart and ambroxan in the base, a woody, ambery molecule it calls by the name Ambrox.

Shaving soap and rum

The opening pairs a shaving soap accord with warm rum, the house’s image of a freshly shaven gentleman. Rum gives the start its warmth and a hint of alcohol; the launch press reads it rather as brandy.

Tonka bean and ambroxan

The heart owes its creamy softness to tonka bean, and the base its ambery, woody character to ambroxan. The launch press classes the fragrance among woody, ambery fougères, masculine and elegant, in the spirit of a gentlemen’s club.
