The Omniscient Mr Thompson Eau De Parfum Spray 75ml

A beautifully scent which opens floral and sweet with vanilla but eases down with woody and earthy tones. There is a masculine, peppery note to it and it just smells delightful. The longevity is looking around the 6 hours mark to smell, but a close sniff to the skin will last into the next day. Overall I’d say this is my favourite portrait collection fragrance. But if you like punchy, look at the trade routes collection.

Penhaligon’s The Omniscient Mr Thompson is a refined and enigmatic fragrance that exudes intelligence, mystery, and classic British eccentricity. Opening with an aromatic burst of lavender and cardamom, it quickly reveals a rich heart of spicy black pepper and warm cinnamon. The dry-down is sophisticated and smooth, with creamy sandalwood, smoky incense, and a whisper of leather, giving it an intellectual yet sensual edge. Balanced and intriguing, it feels like a well-tailored suit in scent form—confident, layered, and subtly powerful. Ideal for cooler months or formal settings, Mr Thompson stands out without shouting, leaving an impression of quiet authority and old-world charm. A distinguished addition to Penhaligon’s Portraits Collection.
