And She smells Delicious...

While it is, and has been my intention to provide this blog from the male perspective, I find that on occasion, it is a good idea to let other men know about some things designed specifically for women, especially when those things are to our great benefit and enjoyment.

Artemesia by Penhaligon's is just one of those things.

Penhaligon's opened in 1870 as a barber shop in Jermyn Street, London and they have been creating fragrances for men, and later women, ever since. Penhaligon's has an unique ability to understand the emotional power of scent. They know how it can unlock memories, stop us in our tracks, lost somewhere for a moment in time. And that is exactly what Artemesia does.

Artemesia, created in 2002, is both floral and fruity, with a beautiful sensual powdery dry down. It is haunting and addictive with its caramel soft notes, sweet, powdery and silky. Mixed inside each bottle is tumble of green apples and nectarines washed with jasmine tea and sprinkled with a luxurious medley of violet, cyclamen and lily petals . All this softly unfolds with great subtlety surrounded with layers of honeyed vanilla, warm spices, a touch of amber and a hint of musk.


The fragrance, once it reaches your nose, it instinctively draws you in and captivates your complete attention. It is one of those perfumes which a woman wears and she is never forgotten.

It is nothing short of delicious! Elegance in a bottle.

So now you know, about this little secret from London. I hope those who take the time to discover it, find it as captivating as I have.
