I tried this yesterday and I have to say it's fantastic! Yet another enigmatic, smooth, complex yet effortlessly simple creation from Penhaligon's. Lothair starts out with fresh top notes of juniper and fig, juicy and watery but then more herbal lavender strong, dry, woody notes, tea and oakmoss. Slightly soapy spice of cardamom in there too it's typical Penhaligon's really, understated and elegant but in no way lightweight, Lothair to me comes off quite masculine. Does suffer a little from the usual penhaligon's issue, Longevity! It's not great but totally acceptable because the fragrance is good...another winner from the house. Update: I'd just like to add that upon wearing some samples a couple of times now I'm glad I didn't buy a full bottle. Nothing wrong with it at all, it's all the things I expect from Pengaligons and largely what I said above, with the exception of quite a lot of cedar present throughout and I'm not sure it's as masculine as I first thought? I'm glad I opted for Levantium in the end, and I really don't get comparisons to Aberdeen lavender? Still alright though.
For me this is Penhaligons crown jewel. A perfect combination of spices, vanilla, fig, tea and woods. It has alot going on but nothing sticks out, It’s blended incredibly well with everything working in perfect unison. It has similarities with eau de baux from L’Occitane but where that feels warmer and more holiday season leaning this is brighter and more complex. I know Penhaligons gets a lot of flack for performance however I feel this is quite good, it’s not massive but that’s part of its class, the longevity it good, it’s sticks around for a long time once it moves to a skin scent. All seasons, all occasions, you will just smell great.
