The Blazing Mr Sam from Penhaligon's, released in 2018, is a warm, spicy masculine scent. Everyone describes it as spicy, a fair share as woody, and a minority as sweet and aromatic.

It opens with cinnamon and cardamom, giving a warm, sweet spice with a cool, aromatic lift. The heart grows hotter and more savoury, as saffron adds a golden, leathery tone, cumin a warm, slightly sweaty spice and black pepper a dry, prickly bite. The base is rich and comforting, with tobacco bringing a dry, honeyed leaf, vanilla a creamy sweetness, patchouli an earthy depth and cedar a dry, woody frame.

People report moderate to long-lasting wear and a moderate trail. Votes favour winter and autumn and lean towards evening, so it suits dinners, cold nights and smart occasions. It fits someone who likes bold spice blends with a sweet tobacco and vanilla base, and who wants a warming, characterful scent for the colder months.
