Composition
Opus 1870 is Penhaligon's 2005 celebration of its heritage — an opus to the house's birth year. Pepper, yuzu, coriander, juniper, cardamom and pink pepper open into incense, rose, cinnamon and orris, over Virginia cedar, sandalwood, musk, leather, amber and vanilla. Dapper, rounded and woody-aromatic — barbershop craft reborn for a new century.
To me this smells like a heritage barbershop on its best day — all polished wood and good manners. Pepper, yuzu, coriander and juniper snap bright over the opening like a fresh shave, cardamom and pink pepper adding spice to the lather. Incense, rose, cinnamon and orris give the heart a dapper warmth, while Virginia cedar, sandalwood, leather, amber and vanilla dry it down to something rounded and gentlemanly. An opus to 1870 that feels completely at home in the present — craft, bottled. Beginner-friendly.
