Endymion Concentré, from Penhaligon's was released in 2016. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Lavender, and Sage, middle notes of Geranium and Suede, and base notes of Incense, Leather, and Nutmeg.
From the name, ‘Concentré’, you might expect this to be a much stronger and intense version of the original Endymion - you would be wrong. It shares a lot of similarities with the original, but seems to be a bit more rounded yet equally as weak. The scent itself is perfectly pleasant, a very easy wear that smells fresh, clean and satisfactory. However, it’s nothing special. It’s a fairly standard soapy ‘blue’ shower gel type of fragrance, which is noticeably better than what you’d find on the designer market, but at the end of the day is the same sort of profile. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this fragrance, if it wasn’t for the fact that Penhaligons’ retail prices seem to come from some sort of dream world. If this fragrance was gifted to you then great, but it’s really not worth more than £50.
