Fortuitous Finley—aka the groundskeeper—is a member of the Penhaligon’s Portrait collection. The heritage-steeped perfumery was established in 1870 when a Cornish barber set up shop on Jermyn Street in London. Some 155 years later, the line is still imbued with British idiosyncrasy, and synonymous with royals, rebels, aristocracy, and the well-to-do.

Key notes: Violet leaf, pistachio, leather.
