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.
Kevin, writing for Now Smell This, finds it warm and comforting, but considers its price excessive for a fragrance that, in his view, does not smell of luxury.
What critics say
Kevin, Now Smell This, October 5, 2016
Kevin finds it boozy from the start, “goes on smelling boozy,” and smooth, with an ambery tonka bean base lifted by a fresh, woody touch. He finds it warm and comforting, ideal for fall.
On the other hand, he faults The Tragedy of Lord George for its inflated price and lack of daring, for a fragrance that, in his view, does not smell luxurious at all.
