From your scent profile
Penhaligon's LP No.9 for Men is a discontinued men's fragrance that opens fresh with mandarin orange, bergamot and rosewood, then settles into a floral, spicy and sweet character.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.
How does it perform?
From 80 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does LP No.9 for Men smell like?
The top notes are mandarin orange, rosewood and bergamot, giving a bright, citrusy start. In the heart, iris, rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang add a floral, powdery side, while nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and clove bring spice. The base of patchouli, amber, musk and vanilla sweetens it into a warm, gourmand, oriental finish.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out. Most voters call it masculine and classic. Rochas Tocade and Dior Dune have a close profile.
