"Gin holds as little appeal for me as skiing, and yet I also inexplicably love Penhaligon's Juniper Sling (85 for 30ml), which manages to filter out the boozy whiff of Gordon's and tonic while retaining its bracing botanical punch. This is refined and wearable on a cold day and sits as comfortably over casual knits and jeans as it would in a more formal, professional setting. There is a cold, head-clearing vibrance to this fragrance a sort of olfactory plunge pool and it's a joy"
"Cold doesn't always mean wet, of course, but autumn invariably brings plenty of both and no one conveys a sense of rain-soaked British landscape like perfumer Lyn Harris. Her Perfumer H Rain Wood fragrance combines notes of angelica (the classic rain note), more of that vibrant juniper, sappy woods and patchouli leaves that give the whole thing a rich, almost peaty, base. It is perfectly balanced a delicate watercolour of a rugged setting, and among my most worn scents of the past few autumns."
Cold weather encourages a shift from warm ambery perfumes toward herbaceous, frosty, invigorating scents that evoke cold. Tom Ford Soleil Neige was inspired by snow and delivers a crisp, airy vanilla musk that counters the bulk and discomfort of padded outerwear and sunburn. Penhaligon's Juniper Sling removes the boozy edge of gin and tonic while preserving a bracing botanical juniper punch, offering refined versatility over casual knits or formal attire and a cold, head-clearing vibrance. Perfumer H Rain Wood layers angelica, juniper, sappy woods and patchouli leaves to create a rich, almost peaty base that suggests a rain-soaked British landscape and remains well balanced.
