Terrible Teddy in a small glass spray vial
Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
No pyramid here
For Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy no note list is on record with us. We only print notes we can trace to a source, so this page names none; wear it and judge. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

About the decant
We fill Terrible Teddy from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and label it ourselves. The sizes are 2, 5 or 10 ml. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Nothing on record ties Terrible Teddy to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.
Who it is for
Our record does not say for whom Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy was made. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own.
Why try Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy as a sample first
You learn more from three wearings of Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy than from thirty opinions about it. 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
What does the sample look like?
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Terrible Teddy the way you normally would.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy, 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 Terrible Teddy 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.
