No. 33 by Penhaligon's, as a decant
Penhaligon's No. 33 is a perfume from the Penhaligon's line-up. Its notes are not in our files, and we would rather say so than fill the gap. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Facts only
The notes of No. 33 are not in our files. That is not a judgement about the perfume, only about what we can state with certainty. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
-
How on request works
The status of No. 33 is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
-
What you receive
Penhaligon's No. 33 comes as 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle. It is labelled by us and not by the brand. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
There is no recorded season for No. 33. Begin on an ordinary day and take it from there. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
Who it is for
Our record does not say for whom Penhaligon's No. 33 was made. If Penhaligon's is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
Why try Penhaligon's No. 33 as a sample first
The same perfume can be a favourite on one person and a miss on the next, which is the whole case for testing No. 33 first. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Penhaligon's is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
Is this the same perfume as the full bottle?
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Penhaligon's No. 33 and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Penhaligon's No. 33, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
How should I keep the vial?
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps No. 33 as it was when we filled it.
The brand
About Penhaligon's
Penhaligon's has 'British Perfumers, Established 1870' in its header and a royal warrant crest in its logo, and it sorts its perfumes like a library: Portraits with their figurine-topped bottles, Trade Routes, British Tales. The house itself shows only three key notes per fragrance, so descriptions stay brief and characters do the talking. Whether Lord George or Halfeti suits you is a question for your skin, and a 10 ml decant answers it.
- Founded in London by the Cornish-born barber William Henry Penhaligon
- The brand's own header says 'British Perfumers, Established 1870'
- Collections include Portraits, Trade Routes and British Tales

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
