Panache Noir - Penhaligon's Halfeti

Panache Noir feels like a dark, richly textured journey into an exotic spice market.
It opens with a sharp, vibrant greenness and a powerful rush of spices, primarily warm cardamom and distinct saffron. This immediately evolves into a bold, slightly dry heart where a dark, deep rose is wrapped in a smoky, supple leather note.

The overall character is opulent, mysterious, and grand, settling into a tenacious base of oudh, cedarwood, and deep amber. It's a statement scent—powerful, luxurious, and instantly recognizable—that feels like wearing a finely tailored velvet jacket or an elegant, leathery cloak. It is the epitome of the "spicy woody oriental" style.
