{"product_id":"penhaligons-endymion-eau-de-cologne-sample","title":"Penhaligon's Endymion Eau de Cologne Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eEndymion is an Eau de Cologne from Penhaligon's, a London house founded in 1870, dated 2003 on the brand's pages. The brand pitches it as classical elegance fit for Zeus's most handsome son, a sparkle of bergamot dancing off suede, coffee and geranium. Coffee in a cologne is an unusual idea, which makes a 10 ml decant a good first test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBergamot, Lavandin, Suede, Coffee accord, Geranium, Cedarwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBergamot with a sparkle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand pictures bergamot first, sparkling and dancing off the other materials. Lavandin sits beside it and gives a herbal, aromatic edge. This is the fresh, classical side of the cologne. On a sample you quickly see how bright it feels on your skin, and whether it is the kind of clean citrus you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuede, coffee and geranium\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unusual part is the middle: suede and a coffee accord, with geranium. The brand's picture is a sparkle of bergamot off these materials, which gives a dry, slightly dark and soft warmth beneath the citrus. It is the place where Endymion stops being a plain cologne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCedarwood to finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedarwood closes the list of six notes with a dry, clean wood. It keeps the coffee and suede from becoming sweet and gives the finish a tailored, classical feel. The brand calls it an eau de cologne for the ages, and the drydown is where that claim of timelessness is tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply the decant on a mild spring or summer day, and wear it to work. Because it is an Eau de Cologne, it is light, so you may reapply during the day to judge it fairly. Smell the bergamot at the start, the coffee and suede as it settles, and the cedarwood later on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like classic, aromatic colognes with a twist, and who find coffee and suede more interesting than a plain citrus. The brand lists it for men. It suits daily wear and office days in warm weather, and anyone curious about Penhaligon's older style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Penhaligon's Endymion as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee and suede in a cologne can feel refined or odd depending on the person, and a 100 ml bottle is a lot to find that out with.
