Sweet · Spicy · Woody
Penhaligon's The World According to Arthur is a sweet, spicy and resinous men's fragrance that suits fall and winter evenings.
It opens with frankincense, Tahitian vanilla and grapefruit; the grapefruit gives a brief lift before vanilla and resin take over. In the heart, ambrette and clary sage absolute make it powdery and creamy. The base returns to frankincense, while tonka bean absolute softens the sweetness and leaves a smoky, woody warmth.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and almost none recommend it for summer. It is mostly suggested for evenings and nights out, with some leaning towards leisure and daily wear. More voters call it masculine, though a fair share read it as feminine.
