The Story
The Tragedy of Lord George is a dark, boozy scent from Penhaligon's Portraits collection. It opens with a sharp blast of brandy and tobacco, then settles into a warm, resinous heart of amber and tonka. The base is a rich blend of sandalwood and musk, giving it a smooth, sophisticated finish. This is a fragrance for a man who commands attention without raising his voice.
