About Original Penguin Reserve
Original Penguin Reserve is a sophisticated fragrance that captures the essence of classic American style with a modern twist. As part of the cashmere collection, it symbolizes the legacy of Original Penguin-the brand known for the elegance and reserved character of its wearers. Reserve states its difference with the fact that it does not bother you with loud sounds-it speaks firmly in his voice. That is totally a scent one should think of a brand which is traditionally associated with golf and preppy yet trendy, not stuffy. The odor has an interesting property, namely, that it is suitable for both boardroom meetings and Sunday brunch.
Fragrance Family:
Aromatic Woody
Scent Type:
Fresh, clean, slightly spicy with warm woody undertones
Notes:
Original Penguin Reserve opens with bright bergamot and crisp citrus notes that feel refreshing without being aggressive. A small amount of grapefruit brings zest but does not want to go too far. The heart becomes a little flowery with a touch of geranium and a dry spiciness—cinnamon. Yet, the cinnamon spice is like a whisper underneath observing and not taking charge of the scene. The real charm of this, has nice and sudden transformations, the cologne holds. It is a mixing of cedarwood and vetiver, with a background of soft musk and amber. It is hot enough to see you through the day but subtle enough to mean few, if any, will take affront if you are in close quarters. It’s still overall a balanced product, as one would say, that suggests a well-planned arrangement of every note with the others.
Suggested Use
Apply Original Penguin Reserve to pulse points—wrists, neck, behind the ears—right after showering when your skin is still warm. The heat activates the citrus notes first, letting them do their job for the opening hour. For longevity, don't overlook the inside of the elbow and behind the knees. One or two sprays is the sweet spot; more than that tips from sophisticated into obvious. This cologne works best when applied with restraint, letting others catch the scent rather than announcing its presence.
