Canterbury

Inspired by Penhaligon’s Halfeti Leather

Canterbury is a Leather fragrance for women and men.

Scent Character & Overall Experience:

This fragrance is a rich, exotic, and captivating scent, often described as transporting the wearer to the land of Halfeti in Turkey.  Canterbury is a rich, complex scent that marries luxurious leather with warm spices and deep woods.  The fragrance profile is characterized by a complex blend of notes across its top, middle, and base layers, creating a warm, spicy, earthy, and smoky aroma suitable for evening wear or colder seasons.

Overall Character

Opening

The scent opens with a bold and lively combination of top notes, greeting you with a lively mix of juicy plum and bright citrus, underpinned by aromatic lavender and spicy cardamom.  This creates a fresh yet slightly sweet and tangy introduction that feels vibrant but not cloying.

Heart

As the scent develops, it becomes richer and more layered.  Warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add depth and complexity, while classic florals like rose and jasmine add an elegant, slightly powdery quality.  This heart phase bridges the fresh opening and the deeper base with a dynamic, intriguing character.

Dry Down

The base notes deliver a deep, aromatic, and long-lasting finish, embodying luxury and sophistication.  Here leather takes center stage, wrapped in rich oud and smoky incense.  Earthy Patchouli and dry cedar wood add structure and warmth, giving the fragrance a mature, sophisticated finish that lingers with a dark, sensual allure.

Overall Impression:
Canterbury is a refined yet powerful leather fragrance that blends succulent fruitiness with rich spices and deep, smoky woods, perfect for someone who loves depth and complexity in a scent without sacrificing elegance.  It unfolds like a journey, vibrant and fresh at first, then rich, warm and sensual, before settling into a smoky, evocative dry-down.
