Pros & Cons
- ✅ It smells like an apple flavored hookah. It's smoky and spicy with a bit of sweetness coming from apple and vanilla. It’s a very slept-on fragrance, in my opinion. It deserves more hype and love.
- ✅ This is not a dupe of Penhaligon Arthur. There's no insence note in this fragrance which makes it more wearable. Initially, you get a blast of red apple, it's very fresh, then it dries down into a slight tobacco and vanilla scent.
- ✅ Very fruity and sweet, smells like jam for me, nice bottle, price also good.
- ✅ Ok, this is actually pretty good, I honestly didn’t expect this level from a clone house. It smells really well put together and performs nicely.
- ✅ I got a decant today and like the scent very much. For sure it still need to mature, but as for now I can feel for sure the species, olibdanum and sweetnes of an apple.
- ❌ Yet another “fragrance” pushed by influencers and, after this I will never buy on any influencer reels or YouTube reviews. The first spray is sweet but then ? A mess of a fragrance. This has a distinct and unpleasant stink and I’m more than disappointed by it.
- ❌ I just smelt this today in the Fragrance World store, and I hate to say it was very disappointing, I’m a fan of The world According to Arthur’s scent profile and was the first penhaligons I smelt, this dupe is not close at all, it’s really smoky and isn’t smooth on skin.
- ❌ I got a decant. Can't judge the similarity to the original. Unfortunately this smells very similar to MH sceptre amazonite, which i honestly hate. This supposedly is a sweet scent but I cannot perceive it.
- ❌ Yet another 'fragrance' pushed by influencers... The first spray is sweet but then ? A mess of a fragrance. ... This has a distinct and unpleasant stink... A scrubber, left it for 2 months, thinking it would change but no different. Awful and off putting garbage.
