No. 33 Eau de Cologne

This review is written as I am wearing it for the 1st time. It smells great on the skin and comes across very soft. I would advise washing with a lavender or slightly citrus based wash. In my mind it comes across as s scnet that stays close to the skin. Extremely soft creation. It is similar in that sense to Endymion but does not have such a creamy coffee like smell. As a cologne I would advise applying liberally. The softness of this scent is highly appealing. I believe it would be complimented with Lavandula to give it a more intense lavender scent. This is not the type of scent that will knock someone over with its power. It is highly subtle which is the charm of many of Penhaligon's scent's. An easy to wear fragrance.

I absolutely adore this, though marketed as a men's scent, I would certainly think it leans more unisex - along with other Penhaligon's fragrances such as blasted heath and blenheim bouquet. Opens with a very clear blast of lavender and citrus, but soon settles into the skin and the drydown is creamy, soft and a little bit sweet. The vetiver in the base is certainly noticeable but not harsh; rather, reminiscent of the vetiver note in Diptyque's vetyverio. The cardamom lingers, spicy and a little bit savoury. Personally, I can't pick up too much on the rose or lily, but I like it that way! It's like the South of France in a bottle, an absolutely perfect summer scent

Really unique and I crave this on rainy days in Yaoundé. Has a lot going on. I get artemisia, cedar, clary sage, coriander/cilantro, lavender, ginger, cardamom, géranium, rose, pepper, cyprus, oakmoss, vetiver, and tonka from strongest to lightest.

I'm happy that i have found a bottle of this masterpiece! It's unisex for me. It has a lot of notes, but all is so well blended- nothing stands out, nothing is too much or harsh. LOVE IT!

Penhaligon’s No 33 opens with a moderate projection of soft, slightly sweet citrus, spicy, and cypress notes. The citrus notes and their soft sweetness are short-lived and the start dissipating soon after the initial application. Simultaneously, the cypress, Artemisia, and clary sage join creating a green tree foliage-like accord. The mid and base notes join with floral, woody, and spicy accords, but they blend in groups rather than individual notes. The cedar, lavender, and cardamom are slightly more prominent but not for much. As the fragrance commences to dry-down, the notes blend more and more together losing identity and the fragrance goes from moderate projection to low. Once Penhaligon’s No. 33 has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a low projection, very soft, slightly sweet, woody, green, and spicy fragrance. The fragrance feels common, earthy, faint, gentle, herbaceous, inexpensive, light, poorly-blended, relaxing, unisex, weak, woody, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020 WOW RATING: 2/10. Too many poor intensity notes create a weak unimpressive fragrance. DISLIKE RATING: 1/10. The notes that could be offensive in this fragrance, such as tobacco or musk, are so faint that they are inoffensive. UNIQUENESS: 1/10. The resulting scent does not feel unique in any way. MASS APPEAL: 5/10. Most people will find this fragrance OK. PROJECTION: 1/10. About 1 foot around the wearer. SILLAGE: 1/10. Almost none. APPLICATION: 4 or more atomizations to compensate for poor performance. LONGEVITY: 3/10. About four hours with very low projection. SEASONS: Spring, summer, and fall. OCCASIONS: Outdoor gatherings, office, business, casual. This is an office-friendly fragrance. VERSATILITY: 7/10. Versatility is good, the fragrance isn’t offensive. GENDER: Advertised for men, the notes found in this fragrance make it unisex. AGES: Any. RECOMMENDATION: Penhaligon’s No 33 can be found for about $75. Its poor performance and the unimpressive scent will leave you wishing for more. Not recommended. BLIND-BUY: Yes, but consider its poor performance. SIMILAR: Here are some fragrances that share some of the same green-based similarities. Bond No 9 Wall Street by Bond No 9, is a green, and aquatic fragrance; Bond No 9 Bleecker Street by Bond, is ultra-green/grass and woody; Bond No. 9 I Love New York For Fathers by Bond No. 9, is green, herbal, and musky; Creed Green Irish Tweed EDP by Creed is a great green, tea, and vetiver fragrance and the similarities with L’Aventure Knight are impressive; Dior Homme Cologne Spray by Christian Dior, contains citrus, floral, and strong musk notes; Jaguar Classic Black EDT by Jaguar, features green, woody, spicy, and citrus, a great office scent; Xerjoff Casamorati Nio contains citrus and green notes. SUMMARY: A low projection, very soft, slightly sweet, woody, green, and spicy fragrance. The fragrance feels common, earthy, faint, gentle, herbaceous, inexpensive, light, poorly-blended, relaxing, unisex, weak, woody, and pleasant.

I got this in a package of Penhaligon samplers from shoplondons. Given the name I was expecting a 4711 ish type of eau de cologne, so was quite surprised by the scent. The opening to me is quite 'celeryish' or pencil shavings. I have to think that is the coriander, with perhaps the sage and pepper playing minor roles (interestingly, coriander is not listed in the fragrance pyramid although it is listed in the introductory text). I frankly don't smell a lot of lavender or anything I would describe as floral. The other fragrance that I have tried recently that also seemed to have a pencil shavings accord is Escentric 01, so I tried them side by side on the back of either hand. 33 is stronger, darker and more celery leaf than is 01, which is lighter and more pencil shavings than celery. Both quite nice in their own way. For 33, the dry down is quick and the celery backs off a fair amount and the amber seems to come in noticeably. All in all, this is a nice masculine fragrance - for me, would be one that I would use to break up the routine, not a daily driver. As with a lot of Penhaligon's fragrances, might be best to think of it as a great after shave than an all day fragrance since sillage is modest. Longevity as a skin scent is about 4 hours for me.

Picked this up at a Penhaligon's sale (yes, they do go on sale, albeit rarely!) for 50% off. That's still around USD 75 for 100 ml, so not exactly cheap. The box promises "a contemporary celebration of lavender in all its bracing charm", which I think is quite accurate. Unusually for an EDC, the citrus takes a back seat here, being prominent only in the open. The focus is on the lavender, and the clary sage gives it an earthy feel which develops in the open and sustains through the drydown. There's a hint of spiciness from the cardamom and pepper as well. While it smells great on the skin, longevity is definitely an issue. I get an average of an hour, and this is a skin scent on me. Not sure if it's worth the price, given the lackluster performance. I've only tried this during the day, but I feel it might work better at night, since it's a more earthy EDC.

I received this as a sample after ordering a few fragrances and after spritzing my wrists, I (still) can't stop smelling. When I smell this, I definitely think "tall, dark and confident". Not a scent I would enjoy in the daytime, but for evenings and night it is wonderful. It doesn't bellow outwards, but rather wafts off your skin gently. This is a scent that will draw people in softly, but when they are close it's boldness will be quite evident. Powerful, but not overwhelming. I wouldn't say this is a unique scent, but it smells luxurious and as a female I would quite enjoy smelling this on a man.

To me it smells like a lot of Jasmine, pepper and Tonka beans. It calms down to less intense a bit fresher vibe but I'm still not sure this is suitable for summer. A good fragrance but not mind-blowing.

Decent scent. At times I wear this at the office because 33 is pretty faint. Probably won't repurchase. Too much money for so little scent. 5/10

Not unpleasant but certainly nothing special. This has got to be one of the most bizarre fragrances I have in my collection. I just can’t figure it out. It’s spicy, sweet, fresh, aromatic. It’s a little bit chaotic. Also a very VERY weak scent that after an hour is barely noticeable. That said... Penhaligons Juniper Sling is NOT something I’d consider you waste your money on. Get a glass of water and pop some cucumber in it and you’ll have a better fragrance.

Nice opening, but the scent has very poor silage, 20 minutes in and I am in office. Had to sniff my arm to make sure I had worn a cologne. Would not recommend, considering the price. On the 3rd application, the glass tip of the cap broke off and got stuck in the bottle. I need to check utube, how to get it out and save my 30 quid. Quality control on the bottles is shoddy, my wife had the same experience with one of the coffrets, in the ladies miniature set. Total writeoff .. beware.

Penhaligon celebrating the 145 anniversary of the introduction of this new fragrance. If you are a big fan, you must know, lavender has been Penhaligon's signature spices. Deep meaning as No.33, inside a large amount of lavender. Geranium, tonka bean, musk ...... and cardamom, from the point of view of this combination, branch 33 is typical Fougère, with Penhaligon's style, the smooth performance No.33, did not intend to take risks. Oh, yes, No.33 has Endymion soul.

This is a pleasant, if not entirely memorable scent. It starts out with a sweet burst of citrus and some florals in the background. The florals, woods, and spices come out more over time, although I had a hard time picking out individual notes. Drydown has more woods, vanilla, and amber. Not an overpowering scent but definitely not weak when you get up close. I've been wearing it for several hours and it is still noticeable up close.

Ignore my last message. They pulled the order after seeing they’d incorrectly priced the 100ml bottle. Then said they were ‘out of stock.’ If something’s too good to be true...

Tap water has more scent than this bizarre product. My bottle wasn't a fake for sure. But it's really really really weak, even for an EDC!

Any Aussies reading? Hop on eBay. PriceRiteMart are selling 100ml bottles for $50. Just snagged one. Back to review soon.

Such an underrated scent by penhaligons for me is a Masterpiece hands down!!! Puck it up before its gone forever ✌✌✌

@Matt1987 Oi, dickhead, this isn't Juniper Sling.
