Have you got yourself your new summer fragrance?
If not, then yes, you've come to the right place.
I'm Robin.
This is Man For Himself, on the streets of London.
I am heading into Penhaligon's on Regent Street.
I have got five summer scents for you.
I'm going to tell you what to wear, how to wear them and what to wear them to.
I'm a very lucky boy.
I have the store to myself, and I'm going to go wild in here.
I'm going to give you an option for a summer wedding.
We're going to do a day at the races, date night, evening on
holiday, but first, come with me.
We're going to give you some drinks in the pot.
If only they actually came in this size, it is the smaller version
here, which is their standard size.
This is the brand new Limited Edition One.
This is Racquets.
Now, when I think of a summer fragrance, I want citrus.
I want fresh.
I want crisp.
And this is this in a bottle.
This is so citrusy, all these really great lemons that just shoot out of the bottle.
And then with a base of leatherwood, it gives us this really fantastic grounding.
Now this is not a summer barbecue.
You know, we don't want all that smoke doing some of your best
clothes to meet your friends.
You're having a gorgeous glass of fizz or a juice of some kind, but this is just
one of those days that leads into a night.
Fresh, crisp.
Summer perfection.
From a day at the park, to a summer wedding.
And I have got the perfect pick for you right here.
Now this is Douro, inspired by the River Douro, and it was
originally created for Sir Percy Croft, who had a port winemakers.
Now this to me is, spritz it.
This to me is again, perfect summer, but just has a slightly
more waiting than Racquets.
Now you've got all these really great citrus facets on the top.
There's bergamot, there's lemon.
There's also lavender in here.
Into the heart, there's neroli, so all these really great flowers
from the bitter orange tree.
And then there's the base's labdanum.
Now labdanum's got this really good resinous quality, something quite
golden, and almost a bit like Amber.
I think with a summer wedding, you know, you want all that fun with
a citrus, something a bit sparkly.
You'd have a little drinks, your friends, and then you've got something that's going
to last into the evening on the skin.
Pure perfection.
And I love it.
I would also say if you are looking for a fragrance, but you're unsure what to do,
then head to the Penhaligon's website.
You can get some sample packs.
You can try smaller ones, before you commit to a large one.
Right.
From a summer wedding, I'm going to give you a day at the races.
I mean, it has been a while for me, but it could still happen this year.
I'm going to take you into the Portraits Collection.
If you don't know the Portraits Collection, these are fantastic
fragrances, but they've also got amazing stories behind them, and they look great.
I'm going to give you the Impudent Cousin Matthew.
Now why I've picked this one is, because I think it's elegant.
I think it's sophisticated.
But it's understated.
And I think at the races, you know, you've got all of these big hats and big dresses.
And I think if you've got something which just says, I know myself, I know what I
want, and I'm also wearing a fantastic fragrance, I think that's bang on
. Now there's Mandarin in this, kind of sticking with those citruses.
There's also petitgrain, which has got this really beautiful,
aromatic, almost like woodsy quality.
And then to the base is patchouli, which gives it this
really great earthy grounding.
I think this one is so easy to wear.
I think so many of you guys watching this, and women, hi, will love this,
and it's definitely one that if you get yourself into a store, give it a spritz.
Okay.
From traditional summer scents, I want to mix it up just a little
bit and give you some wild card.
Maybe some things you wouldn't have thought of.
So come with me to the Trade Routes.
Now this is Lothair, and I'm going to give you this for a date night.
Now it's date night, because it just begs to be nuzzled in on.
There's juniper, there's also fig milk, which got this
really great creamy quality.
And then there's ambergris, which again, has this sort of resinous tonality to it.
Now, I've got a bit of a story for you, on figs.
This reminds me of a summer holiday I had, and it was in Palma.
They have these gorgeous shutters on this old sort of Chateau.
Let's call it a Chateau.
And in the morning when you open your shutters, there was these gorgeous fig
trees, and just the smell was beautiful.
Meaty, creamy gorgeousness on your skin.
And if it's a date night, you want something that says, I'm sexy.
I'm confident.
Have a nuzzle on this.
Okay.
Talking of nuzzling.
From my date night.
Yes.
My date night.
I'm going to give you an evening in summer.
So think about your summer holiday.
During the day, if you've been at the beach, you might
not be wearing a fragrance.
But in the evening, you want to make an impression.
You're going to head for dinner, you're going to a gorgeous restaurant, and you're
going to be wearing Halfeti Leather.
Now, this is a deeper, darker, spicier, sexier, I think, version
of the best seller, Halfeti.
Now, you do have some citrus in the tops, so this is keeping it summer-friendly.
There's bergamot.
There's all this citrus zest.
But really, one of my favourites, I want to say.
But really, it's all about that base.
And it's the base that sits on the skin.
It's going to sit on that warm skin from the day, with leather, oud, and patchouli.
Amazing, sexy, seductive, confident, just how I want my summer scent.
So there you go.
Five summer scents for five different occasions.
