Penhaligon’s Portraits The World According To Arthur Eau de Parfum Spray — 75ml
Incense with a crown on it. The World According To Arthur is a bold, regal scent that plays with contrasts: sparkling grapefruit cutting through a deep, sacred incense, softened by a creamy vanilla infusion and the warm, almond-like sweetness of tonka. It’s smoky, resinous and slightly sweet—like cathedral incense drifting through a gilded room at dusk.
