The World According to Arthur - Eau de Parfum

amazing scent

i love the scent of this perfume. It’s like nothing i’ve smelled before and it stays so so long on my skin. Perfect for a night out or an important day at work

Surprisingly Liked It

I was looking everywhere to try to find the notes of this perfume and I couldn’t find anything so I honestly didn’t know what to expect but surprisingly I actually really liked it. The scent smells luxurious and a little musky, perfect for a night out.

Sweet and Musky

This is a very unique scent, unlike anything. It’s a clean musky smell which also give notes of sweetness. The sweetness is not overpowering and suffocating. I would recommend!

Scent is too mature

I didn't care much for this scent. To me, this scent is more appropriate for an elderly person. I was expecting more from a Penhaligon's perfume.

Smells INCREDIBLE!!!

I am extremely picky with perfume and this is one of the best smelling perfumes I have ever tried. The only downside I would say to it is that it does not last as long as my other perfumes, unfortunately.

I love it

I really loved this perfume, it has a very rich aroma and it is also super intense, but pleasant, it lasts a long time on the body and smells from a distance, it is a very rich smell.

Unique snd complex

This is a very unique cologne. It's got a lot of layers on it and changes throughout the day. It lasted a decent amount of time wish it was a little stronger at the end of the day but still enjoyed it. I get notes of tobacco, vanilla, spice, sweet, and musky. The sample was pathetic and only got to wear it 3x so kind of hard to judge it fully.

Well-crafted, but smells like Play-Doh on me

Influenster sent me a generous spray tester vial of this sample; and the packaging is very dainty and thoughtful! I enjoy the illustrations on the paper packaging; and the juice itself is a beautiful deep crimson color, that reminds me of an old tincture or potion. I’ve heard fabulous things about Penhaligon’s fragrances, so I was excited to try. Before spraying on my skin, I tested this on a piece of paper. It’s a very heavy and sweet-leaning vanilla scent; while the vanilla persists, a smoky and mysterious incense note creeps in. The ambrette note is hidden with the incense, and I think all the notes (aside from the vanilla) are pretty well-blended, and push the vanilla into unisex territory. It does smell well-made and thoughtful, on paper. Unfortunately, on my skin, this smells like smoky Play-Doh. Vanilla does not agree with my body chemistry at the best of times, and the vanilla in this perfume seems to HATE me. I asked my boyfriend to smell me, and he also said I smelled like Play-Doh. It is a shame, because I think this could work for someone who does well with vanilla, but for me this scent is a scrubber, it gave me a bit of a headache.

Sweet!

Good quality perfume (lasts long and dries down similar to the scent that comes out of the bottle) but the smell was just a little too much on the sweeter side for my personal preferences. If you like sweet scents though this is for you.

Intense Smell

This perfume has an intense smell that is loud at first spray and stays for maybe 10-15mins. After that i can Hardily smell it on my skin. I am more of floral, fruity, and sweet perfume girly so this was not for because it’s more earthy and dark.

Really cool presentation, but it's unfortunately not for me

This perfume is clearly high end from the price tag and presentation and the staying power of the fragrance. The notes of the perfume are just unfortunatelynot for me. Its not necessarily bad, its just quite "powdery" in like a baby powder/matronly sort of way. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that profile, ot just isnt my preference. If you like that type of scent, i would highly recommend this perfume!

True Unisex Scent

The design of the bottle is definitely beautiful. The scent is truly unisex and appeals to both men and women. It smells like a floral vanilla incense which I like but is a specific vibe. I feel like this scent belongs in New Orleans because of the mysterious vibes it gives off. You can tell this is a quality parfum even by the color. I don’t know if I like it enough to spend the asking price but it is lovely.
