Penhaligon’s latest scent, Fortuitous Finley, is no ordinary stallion—it’s a thoroughbred blend of intrigue, leather, and just a dash of scandal. Joining The Portraits collection of animal-crowned bottles, this fragrance pays homage to Finley, the ever-diligent groundskeeper who tends to his estate’s maze with the same care he applies to winning hearts. And win he does—at least until Lady Blanche finds herself torn between love and legacy. A whirlwind of whispered rendezvous, frantic pursuits, and a few dead ends later, it’s clear: some paths are paved with roses, others with risk.
The scent itself is just as enticing as its muse. It bursts from the gate with a bold kick of cardamom and black pepper, before galloping into an unexpected mix of salted pistachio and violet—a contrast as daring as a gamble placed in the final stretch. Matcha adds a green, refined twist, while patchouli and orris ground the fragrance with a deep, earthy sensuality. But at the heart of it all? Leather—suave, smoky, and utterly irresistible. This is a scent for those who don’t just navigate life’s labyrinth, but charge through it at full speed.
