Juniper Sling, from Penhaligon's was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is Olivier Cresp. It has the top notes of Angelica, Cinnamon, Juniper Berries, and Orange, middle notes of Cardamom, Leather, Orris Root, and Pepper, and base notes of Amber, Cherry, Sugar, and Vetiver.
Sparkling, sweet and beautiful! What a great scent this is... it's like quenching your parched lips with an ice cold, fizzy, San Pellegrino. To me this is a perfect energizing summer fragrance. I was expecting a very gin like, juniper vibe which it does deliver but it also gives a sweetness, clean vetiver and a spiced vibe too. It's expertly blended to create a really intriguing fragrance which is uplifting as many have mentioned in their reviews. This stuff will genuinely cheer you up! The only problem I have and it applies to quite a few Penhaligon's (some of them are stronger) they have poor longevity and projection. This is among a few that are slightly more expensive than the rest of the range and I can't see why really? I like it that much that I may well add it to my collection despite this. Update: I was very tempted to buy this today, instead I was given some samples by a lovely lady in the Penhaligon's shop and will trial it on my skin over the next couple of weeks and see how we go on. It is a summer scent for me so maybe not a priority purchase. Make no mistake though I'm still as in love with it as I was at first sniff...a wonderful fragrance!
