Launched in 2015, Halfeti by Penhaligon's is built for men who like scent with some weight behind it. Grapefruit and bergamot lead the top notes, joined by saffron and cardamom, and cypress leaf and artemisia add a herbal green streak. Jasmine and Bulgarian rose move into the heart, warmed by nutmeg. Oud, cedar, leather and sandalwood anchor the base notes, with amber, tonka bean, vanilla and musk wrapped around them. Woods, warm spice and a soft powderiness make it rich and dark rather than sweet, a bit like a well-worn jacket. Cold weather is when voters favour it, as evening turns to night, and an outing suits it more than a desk does. On longevity the vote leans long-lasting, while sillage leans moderate with strong close behind. Cold-weather nights are the ideal test for a 3ml decant.

The community verdict
Cypress leaf, saffron and cardamom give Halfeti a spicy start before rose, cedar, leather and oud settle in. The largest group finds it long-lasting, while projection divides between moderate and strong. It suits winter nights and autumn evenings, especially for a bold, woody mood.
