Perfume Review: Penhaligon’s Tralala (Unisex): Bold, escentric uncompromising and individual. These are a few words that come to mind when I think about the latest fragrance from Penhaligon’s – Tralala. Just glancing at the top notes alone, I knew that this was a fragrance that would require my full attention. The booziness in the opening is intoxicating, the whiskey note is almost overwelming and pulls rank over the other notes. I was hoping that saffron would have a much stronger presence (I love the bittersweet spiciness it lends to fragrances), however I could only detect a hint of it. More than good enough I suppose, as this fragrance has many other tenacious players. As the intensity of Tralala starts to calm down, the heart notes blend leather, tuberose, incense and carnation which lends to a soft white floral sweetness that is also bright and peppery. Complex? Absolutely! In the final stages of Tralalal, a warm gourmand develops –  warm bittersweet vanilla, still boozy, yet, soft and leathery. Tralala is definitely an acquired taste. It’s romantic, sexy, a little bit crazy, and reminds me of Irish Whiskey Truffles. You have to smell it for yourself to truly understand its charm.
