Penhaligon's Endymion

Night...oh yes, a beautiful, clear and pure night full of bright stars and the moon looms over with all its sources of light. As you look into the sky, it seems as it's something without end... Here and there is small breeze which brings a trace of lavender, immortelle, lemon, pepper, vetiver... Then you can really enjoy the reality and realize that you are walking on some promenade while it's illuminated with old yellow lanterns...

Noć...da, jedna lijepa, bistra i čista noć puna sjajnih zvijezda, a mjesec se nazire sa svom svojom svijetlošću. Pogled u nebo, pogled je u nešto bez kraja, vječno. Tu i tamo zapuše prohladni povjetarac i nanese trag lavande, smilja, limuna, papra, vetivera... Taj tren se uživite u realnost i shvatite da šetate Strossmayerovim šetalištem ili Lungo Mareom dok su upaljeni stari, žuti lampioni...

I like Apolonius story. Selene, titan goddess of the moon, felt in love with mortal as she moved the moon chariols through the night sky. This resulted with an eternal love. That mortal was Endymion. Endymion was possessed by a dazzling beauty, timeless neauty, he radiated with perfection. Selena loved him so much while he was peacefully sleeping that she asked Zeus, the father of Endymion, would he make him immortal while he was sleeping. So Endymion became immortal, Zeus put him into an eternal sleep with timeless beauty where Selene even today visits him in the mountain of Latmos.

 Najviše volim Apolonijevu priču. Selena, titanska božica mjeseca, zaljubila se u smrtnika dok je vozila mjesečeva kola kroz noćno nebo. Tako je nastala vječna ljubav. Taj smrtnik bio je Endymion. Endymion je posjedovao zaslijepljujuću ljepotu, neprolaznu, zračio je savršenstvom. Selena ga je toliko voljela dok je spokojno spavao, da je zamolila Zeusa, oca Endymionova, da ga učini besmrtnim u toj formi dok spava. Tako je Endymion postao besmrtan, Zeus ga je pustio u vječni san sa bezvremenskom ljepotom gdje ga Selena i dan danas posjećuje u planini Latmos.

Packaging of a perfume also suggests its purpose. A box lined with stars, dark blue paper suggest the night sky with a small moon. A perfume is an ode to love which is eternal, the reflection of night, eternity, comfort... Perfumer Steve de Mercado has fulfilled his mission because he has managed to transport every picture into a bottle. Fresh and spicy fragrance at the same time. It is found a very good balance between freshness, spices and the depth of the fragrance. Very elegant scent made for the night and small hours. Opening is citrusy, but later all the notes intertwine and form a cohesive whole. Most notable notes are - lavender, pepper, lemon, vetiver, immortelle and all of that makes a pleasant, fresh, slightly sweet and spicy smell. Its epithets are - sophisticated, serious above all and irresistible... Penhaligon's has tradition of making perfumes in a manner of colognes because founder is William Penhaligon who was famous London's barberer. Not one of their perfumer is assailant as Eau de Parfum and Endymion is a cologne water with excellent duration (as EDT) with a mediocre sillage. A perfume represents everything for what it stands for and it can be crowned with Laurel Wreath. It is made for a nice blazer, oxfords, shirt, handkerchief in a jacket, cufflinks...Very manly fragrance. Penhaligon's has something 'Penhaligonyic' in all of its creations. The two Coat of Arms that are on the logo of Penhaligon's are the Coat of Arms of Prince Charles and the Duke of Edinburgh because Penhaligon's is the official supplier of their Highness;)

The fragrance is a little masterpiece. Anyone who wants to smell the night, sweetness, irresistibility knows what to look for...my favourite Penhaligon's

Samo pakiranje ovog parfema daje naslutiti poantu. Kutijica obložena zvijezdama, noćno tamno-plavo nebo, i mali polumjesec. Parfem je oda ljubavi koja je vječna, odraz noći, vječnosti, ugode...Parfumer Steve de Mercado je uspio u potpunosti pretočiti sve to u bočicu jer je moguće zamisliti svaku sliku. Svjež i začinski parfem istovremeno. Pronađen je jako dobar balans između svježine, začina i dubine parfema. Iznimno elegantan miris namijenjen za noć i sitne sate. Otvaranje mu je citrusno, ali kasnije se sve note u njemu isprepliću i čine jednu povezanu cjelinu, a od sastojaka se najviše osjeti lavanda, papar, limun, smilje i vetiver što čini jednu ugodnu svježinu, pomalo slatkastu i začinsku. Epiteti su mu - profinjen, ozbiljan prije svega, ali neodoljiv. Penhaligon's ima tradiciju raditi parfeme u stilu kolonjskih voda jer je osnivač William Penhaligon, poznati londonski brijač. Niti jedan njihov parfem nije napadan kao Eau de Parfum, a Endymion i je kolonjska voda s izvrsnim trajanjem (kao toaletna) i srednjim mirisnim tragom. Najvažnije je da je parfem ispunio svoju svrhu i svrstava se u skupinu onih koji se mogu okruniti lovorovim vijencem. Stvoren je za skrojeni sako, oxfordice, košulju, maramicu u sakou, manžete... Izrazito je muževan. Penhaligon's ima "ono nešto" u svim svojim kreacijama, a to nešto je tradicija i specifična nota. Dva grba koja imaju na svom logu su grbovi Princa Charlesa i Vojvode od Edinburgha jer je Penhaligon's službeni dobavljač njihovim visostima.

Parfem je jedno malo remek-djelo. Svatko tko želi omirisati noć, slatkoću, neodoljivost...zna što treba potražiti...moj najdraži Penhaligon's!
