PENHALIGON S Much Ado About the Duke Eau De Parfum Spary 75ml

Product Information

Vetiver is there rather a different caliber, which I often meet with skepticism. What attracts me to it but again and again, is this green, citrus freshness, which it often brings and the woody something. In the case of Portrait des Dukes, subtly woody, lemongrass-like notes rise from the base very soon, which I would most likely attribute to vetiver. And so beautiful my nose has never experienced them before. For his part, William suffers from depressive tendencies, and I found this to be very relatable and it was admirable that he admitted this weakness fairly readily, at least to himself. Beatrice didn’t seem too concerned about William or his feelings and actually did her best to alienate him for a while, despite the fact that he was the one man who agreed with her and might be able to help her cause. Even as he was telling her he agreed with her, she was still coming after him. Because he was a man, she refused to listen to anything he had to say. This wasn’t helped by the fact that William feels connected to Beatrice (though for the life of me I can’t see why), and this makes him terrified because she makes him feel. These two may have agreed on a great many things, but Beatrice wouldn’t concede that they had anything in common or give him any credit, so I was just puzzled about the connection that was supposedly growing between them. Beatrice spends a great deal of time bemoaning William’s arrogance, but I found her to be much more arrogant than he was, perhaps made even worse by the fact that she thinks she knows everything but it’s very clear that she’s incredibly naïve and has a lot to learn. In general, I perceive no great development in the fragrance. (Which is very right for me, because I do not want to give any of its shares so really) After the more intense and spicy-fresh prelude, it becomes a bit more subdued. From the start, there's something comfortingly warm about it, which perhaps increases a bit as it progresses, while a green, citrusy freshness lingers until the end. If you want, you can associate quite a bit into it, which probably fits the whole gin idea. (I'm more of a whiskey guy, and there's a lot you can associate into it, after all!) At times I think kitchen spices - coriander? Herbs de Provence? - sometimes I think warm-moist spring leaves, sometimes maybe actually pepper, sometimes almost fruity - and at the core: juniper. --schmacht--

If you’re a Shakespeare fan, particularly Much Ado About Nothing (I do hope you saw that one coming lol), there are plenty of references. I also loved the Ancient Greek mentions and the flow of the narrative. I was immediately hooked and read the book super fast because I never wanted to leave them. I love this fragrance as it works amazingly as a cool rose scent that could be worn by ladies and gents equally and its a fragrance i have had lovely complements for wearing too The beginning of the book was pure RELISH. I loved the anticipation of their first meeting, how their preconceived ideas of each other had nothing on how they actually found each to be. I also really enjoyed every time Will and Beatrice were together, their witty dialogues and undeniable attraction to each other. One of my favorite aspects of the book were the characters, they felt like real, sensible people and not like overdrawn caricatures. Additionally the family relationships (Will and his brothers & Beatrice with her uncle and cousin) were just lovely.Perfumer: Alberto Morillas; listed notes of ambergris (Ambrox), fougère accord, brandy (or rum, depending on the info source), shaving soap and tonka bean.

Will doesn’t believe in love and is literally horrified of the concept—like fleeing ballrooms, falling off horses, blaming indigestion type of scared. Beatrice is similarly horrified, but of marriage, since she doesn’t believe love like her parents’ exists anymore and that’s all she will accept in a match. But as soon as they lay eyes on each other across a ballroom, they’re both absolutely gone. When applying still a little peppery, almost scratchy - hence the title - but is after a few minutes a really cool fragrance development. There was lovely pining from the hero though, as I said. And the scenes where he is helping her learn to box were adorable. When I next morning still the remains of the Duke on the arm next to me erschnuppere, I become beinah weak and seriously consider to move the departure until the perfumery opens and I can still acquire him. Or at least test it again. At home in the province, these bottles are rather not to be found ... so, should mean ... not at all. A clever touch is the TV screens above the stage, allowing the audience to read all the amusing social media responses to the tension and drama happening in the villa. It’s both surprising and fascinating how well the world of Shakespeare lends itself to being transformed into a reality TV show: monologues are delivered in the form of confessionals, and the Friar is a glamorous TV presenter, who navigates through it all offering advice and bizarre solutions. If the original play is all about deception, this adaptation takes it one step further: it shows the artifice, the magus behind the wall, the puppeteer who pulls the strings.

Date

I like that things were pointed out that we know are problematic now – just the fact of being a duke at all has some serious negative marks in Williams corner. But smaller things like the fact Beatrice stopped using sugar in her tea because she knows it contributes to abuse. The biggest thing I loved here, though, was the fact that the hero was ON BOARD from the beginning. He is enamored with Beatrice’s passion for women’s rights and he is ready for this battle in parliament. Sure, he’s a man in a man’s world and obviously still has some ignorance he needs shaken out of him. And Beatrice is the perfect one to educate him. I felt like he actually listened to her, the problems women faced, and was willing to make change. It was refreshing she didn’t have to spend the entire book educating him on his privilege. We go home with two other fragrances - virtually for the price of this one. The Duke accompanies us only on the arm of my husband, while I underhook me on the other side and grapsche over every now and then. This takes on toxic masculinity and the nuances of how women are and were treated as less than- and it's quite explicit that this is the project of the book. So if you don't like activism in your romance, this might not be for you, but I found it to be delightful. I can't say exactly which woods make their contributions, but they do bring the male touch, because dandy or not, he's a man and I see the scent on a man too. It can't be excluded that there are also gin-drinking rose lovers, but this would certainly have been staged differently. I had to DNF this title at 12%. I rarely DNF a title, but I couldn't listen to any more of this book.

The use of London dry gin, Rose, Cedarwood all work together in a way that i find very unique in a fragrance and is something i am more than sure you wont find in any other fragrance house helping you truly stand out from the crowd Then the second half of chapter 3, Lady Beatrice and the duke danced while having the most stilted, boring conversation full of overdramatized reactions and emotions. After that, it was over for me.In chapter 2, we find out that the duke secretly admires Lady Beatrice. Then the entire second half of the chapter, we were treated to a play-by-play of his first time seeing her. I think the word 'magnificent' was used two or three times. Beatrice and Will are both well-developed protagonists, and they have a great love story. They have great chemistry, their banter is fantastic, and I love the way they challenge each other. However, both are hesitant to commit to another, though for very different reasons. She fears losing her autonomy, and he fears losing someone he cares deeply for. I like how they both explore their misgivings and fears as they fall deeper for each other. They are definitely a well-matched pair that brings out the best in each other!
