The World According to Arthur, released by Penhaligon's in 2021, is a soft gourmand amber with incense and a citrus lift. It combines smoke and sweetness in a warm, cosy way.
The opening mixes incense, which gives a dry, airy smoke, with grapefruit for a bright, bitter citrus touch and vanilla for an early sweetness. In the heart, clary sage adds a herbal, slightly musky tone and ambrette a soft, velvety, skin-like warmth. The base returns to incense, now paired with tonka bean, which brings a sweet almond and vanilla note that rounds off the smoke.
Most wearers report moderate longevity, with a minority finding it weak, and the sillage is moderate or intimate. It is voted for autumn and winter and mostly for the evening. Worn by anyone, it suits quiet evenings, cold days and relaxed dinners, for someone who likes comforting incense with a gentle, sweet amber finish.
