Lothair

Lothair by Penhaligon's is a sophisticated, unisex fragrance that balances fresh herbal notes with warm, creamy depth. It opens with a crisp blend of bergamot, grapefruit, juniper, and cardamom, evoking the brightness of a gin and tonic. Lavender and black tea broaden the aromatic profile, creating a surprisingly coherent, delicate harmony. The middle notes introduce a soft, milky fig and magnolia, lending an understated sweetness without cloying. As it dries down, warm vanilla, oakmoss, cedar, and ambergris bring a gently spiced, woody warmth, creating a refined texture that feels both modern and timeless. Despite its light sillage and moderate longevity, the scent maintains presence, fading into a subtle, skin-level projection that lingers for hours. It feels intimate and transportive—like stepping into a quiet maritime cabin or a distant hillside farm during spring. The fragrance is well-rounded, clean, and comforting without being overly sweet or masculine, making it especially suited to daytime wear. Whether on skin or clothes, it holds with elegance and a quiet confidence, though not loud enough to make a bold statement.
