{"product_id":"penhaligons-halfeti-eau-de-parfum-100ml","title":"Penhaligon's Halfeti Eau de Parfum (100ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe brand tells Halfeti as a love story in moonlight, with a nod to the legendary black rose of the riverbank. Grapefruit, bergamot, Levantine spice, rose and an oud accord are tangled together in this Eau de Parfum from the Trade Routes collection, which the brand calls mysterious and heady with rose, grapefruit and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrapefruit, Bergamot, Levantine spice, Rose, Oud accord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBright citrus with a dark side\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrapefruit and bergamot are the brightest voices in the list: bitter, juicy and clean. In Halfeti they sit beside spice and an oud accord instead of standing alone, so the brightness reads as a contrast, not as freshness. The brand gives no order, so imagine all five notes mixed together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRose with spice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose carries the centre of the idea, the black rose of the brand's story. Next to Levantine spice it turns warmer and less sweet than a rose usually is, closer to dark red petals than to pink ones. The spice keeps it from becoming soft or powdery, which suits the mysterious mood the brand describes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn oud accord for depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oud accord recreates the dark, resinous, woody side of oud. Here it gives the citrus and the rose something to lean on and lends the blend its night-time weight, without turning it heavy. It also keeps the rose from drifting toward sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvenings and cooler months\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalfeti suits evenings and cooler months, when its spice and oud have room to spread. Two sprays on wrists and neck are enough to start; add a third in a large room. As an Eau de Parfum it is dense, so a light hand suits it and a heavy one only crowds the spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA taste for dark roses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalfeti is listed by the brand for both women and men. It suits people who like rose without sweetness, enjoy spice and dark woods, and want a perfume with atmosphere. If you are after something light, green or clean, this is not it; Halfeti has presence and asks to be noticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Penhaligon's Halfeti\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalfeti belongs to the house's Trade Routes collection, and Christian Provenzano is credited as its perfumer. The brand gives it a clear picture to hold on to: moonlight, a river and a black rose. Penhaligon's calls itself British Perfumers, Established 1870, and is based in London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is the black rose in the brand's story?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand's text nods to the legendary black rose of the riverbank. In the scent itself, rose is joined by spice, grapefruit and an oud accord, so the black rose belongs to the story and is not a note on the list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it for women or for men?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor both: the brand lists it as unisex, under fragrances for her and for him. Liking rose, spice and an oud accord is a matter of taste, not of gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich spices does it use?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand names Levantine spice without listing individual spices, so we do not either. It does say that spice and rose are tangled together with grapefruit and oud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat are its size and concentration?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Eau de Parfum in a 100 ml bottle. It is a denser, longer-lasting concentration than an eau de toilette, so a light hand is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penhaligon's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658697343128,"sku":"PEN-HALFETI-EDP-100ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/1157\/8520\/files\/penhaligons-halfeti-eau-de-parfum-100ml.webp?v=1791360589","url":"https:\/\/nichegems.eu\/products\/penhaligons-halfeti-eau-de-parfum-100ml","provider":"NicheGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
