Ideal sample
Impressed with the size of the sample gives more than enough to get a true smell,pleasant smell that lasted a long time which is ideal for most men,son said it was ok but not his usual smell but thought it was ok but more for the older man
by guest
Extraordinary fragrance
I want my perfect fragrance to linger on my body longer and this perfume does exactly that. The lovely smell comes through a little later after application and stayed with me all day. A very pleasant fragrance that is not overpowering

Spicy smells
I was very surprised by this scent, don’t know why I thought it smell different to what it does , it’s a sweet smell but not to over sweet, it has a cinnamon smell. A strong scent for sure, what I’d call a woody and fruity aroma. All in all a lovely smells that I could wear again

Strong and fresh
This fragrance has a strong yet fresh smell without being too overwhelming. It’s lasts a long time without having to top up during the day. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a versatile fragrance which smells nice, lasts and is quite strong.
by guest
Great scent
I love this scent. I like the scent is not too overwhelming nor overpowering. I like it’s refreshing. It’s woody and spicy it said it’s for men but I like it. So I think it’s unisex. I would definitely recommend
by guest
Quite a sweet smell!
I was quite surprised by this scent, it’s a sweet smell but not over sweet, it has a cinnamon back note. A strong scent for sure, what I’d call a woody and fruity aroma. All in all a lovely parfum that I’d wear again.
by guest
Warm spicy scent
This is a lovely warm spicy scent, perfect for special occasions and everyday wear. The scent is long lasting and lasts all day without being over powering. It’s a subtle masculine scent of a woody and spicy smell. This is a great stable scent for all ages.
by guest
Very sweet and subtle fragrance
I normally like Oudh and Woody fragrances, so it's not something I would usually go for, but this is nice. I tried a sample bottle (as per the picture) - a couple of sprays on my wrists and it lasts several hours. It's very sweet and floral - so I'd probably mix this with a heavier scent when using regularly.
by guest
Nice
Quite overpowering when first sprayed but give it 5 minutes and it calms down, got a really pleasant strong musk smell to it. Lasts all day my other half really likes it and has a few compliments on it since using
by guest
Perfect blend with the scent lasting all day
A spicy woody fragrance. The base note of Cedarwood hit me first but straight after the blend which includes notes of black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and vanilla really make this a strong refreshing smell. And best of all the scent lasts all day!
by guest
Great branding, great scent
I've never come across this brand before but I was impressed with the visuals and also the scent itself. Its a deep fragrance but not too heavy, just about subtle enough for casual day to day wear in the office, etc
by guest
Perfume sample
Got to try this new perfume same, what can I say erm it’s a nice smell it’s not to strong but strong enough to use multiple times I’m not sure if the smell is for every though as it can be a little over powering at times but as I said it’s very nice and would let people smell it to test
by guest
Exceptional
Such an incredible smell. One of the nicest smelling perfumes that I have ever smelt. It has lovely deep woody tones whilst still smelling fresh. My partner absolutely adores it and cannot keep away when I'm wearing it.
by guest
Smells Great
Smells great and would recommend it. Very strong smell and lasted all day with just 2 sprays. I am not sure it is enough to be my new scent permanently but I will look to add it to my rotation and will consider other products from this company now too
by guest
Warm, woody, spicy scent, quite durable
After immediate application it is strong, warm and woody sweet, however after few moments it becomes very musky, spicy and overpowering. For the first two hours I don’t really like it as it too musky and sweet to my senses however after about 2-3 hours it becomes milder and softer and I enjoy wearing it. I can feel some tobacco, vanilla and cedar notes after when fragrance settles down. It stays on the clothes for days, on the skin it lasts for a day. I don’t enjoy this fragrance after immediate application and first 2-3 hours however I like it after that. I would say it is durable fragrances for a day. I would consider buying it for my partner, as he find this scent energising and bold. Perfect for autumn/ winter season in my opinion.
by guest
Great Smell
The Blazing Mr Sam is a masculine, woody-spicy fragrance from Penhaligon's that evokes the image of a confident and adventurous man. It opens with a bright and spicy burst of cardamom and cinnamon, before settling into a more complex and nuanced heart of cumin, saffron, and black pepper. The base is warm and woody, with notes of tobacco, vanilla, cedar, and patchouli. I find The Blazing Mr Sam to be a very versatile fragrance. It can be worn for any occasion, from a casual day out to a special evening event. It is also a fragrance that can be worn in any season. In the summer, it is a refreshing and invigorating scent. In the winter, it is a warm and comforting fragrance. Overall, I highly recommend Penhaligon's The Blazing Mr Sam to any man looking for a well-crafted and sophisticated fragrance. It is a scent that is sure to turn heads and leave a lasting impression.
by guest
Really great fragrance for men. Absolutely love it
I’ve only reviewed a sample but I can say from the first time I wear this perfume is absolutely a 10/10. Smells like the sun, the sea, and adds wood tones to it. I would definitely recommend for any men above 20 as it’s quite intense and mature. Really love this perfume and might buy for myself.
by guest
Nice scent
Never heard of penhaligons before but when I got the sample of the blazing Mr Sam I was pleasantly surprised. It has notes of cinnamon, cardamom, cedar and vanilla and a few more but the combination of all those different smells come together quite well. This scent last for a pretty long time it also has a bit of a price tag . Over£200 for 75ml
by guest
Luxury fragrance
Very strong smelling scent. It smells beautiful and lasts all day and even when you wash you can still smell it. The scent makes you feel empowered and important and lots of compliments from it as it’s so strong.
by guest
One of the most amazing scents ! WOW !! X
Penhaligons The Blazing Mister Sam well where do I start this Eau De Parfum Natural Spray smells SCENTSATIONAL ! . I love the heart note of black pepper / The base note Cedarwood & The head note of Cardamon such a spicy unusual but decadent fragrance which I totally love I recommend anyone try this it’s gorgeous ! X
by guest
May have found my new scent
This is a wonderful scent. It has a slightly sweet smell with a woody and vanilla base. It’s slightly musky and the smell is quite captivating. I’ve had so many compliments wearing this and I love how long the fragrance lasts and how I get whiffs of it throughout the day
by guest
Wow
I can see why this brand/fragrance has such a high price tag. The fragrance itself is a gorgeous men’s perfume. Nutty, woody and spicy notes. The fragrance really sticks and is long lasting. And something about it just smells expensive. It isn’t the same as regular perfume, it’s very unique! Would like to try more from this brand!
by guest
Very unique and extraordinary fragrance!
If you're like me and you like to try a lot of different aftershaves and rotate the ones you use to vary things up, then you will definitely want to add this fragrance to your collection! I have never smelled anything like it before, its an extraordinary fragrance! The smell of this aftershave is almost indescribable as I've genuinely never come across anything like it before, but it does bring to mind notes of raspberry mixed with a chilli hot heat and then a warming aromatic spice. It has sweet notes of vanilla alongside woody notes and smoky notes of tobacco. Combined, this fragrance is one of the most unique smells I've ever encountered and is incomparable to anything else out there. I have had so many comments and compliments on how I smell and had lots of questions about where I've gotten this fragrance from. As it's a "parfum" the smell lasts an incredibly long time both on your skin and clothes. The bottle will last a long time as you only need to spray a little bit on, less is definitely more! I put on the aftershave in the morning and I could still smell it on my collar when I took my shirt off in the evening. If you're like me and you're wanting a new and unique scent then you're going to want to give this one a try. It is like nothing I have ever used before! It is an extraordinary scent that you will want to try for yourself!
by guest
Nice fragrance
I got this recently to try out as I wanted a new aftershave. It's nice and I really like the smell. The branding is unusual and a bit chaotic, but don't let that put you off, the scent is lovely and is good with my sensitive skin too, and lasts on skin or clothing for a long while
by guest
Blazing Mr Sam delight

The fragrance is also very long-lasting and has good sillage. It is perfect for special occasions or for making a statement. Overall, The Blazing Mr. Sam Eau de Parfum is a great choice for men who are looking for a warm, spicy, and woody fragrance that is both complex and sophisticated.
by guest
Love it
Absolutely my new favorite scent. Very elegant bottle.My new number one fragrance.Beautiful and durable, lasts a long time. perfect for the evening, very deep and intense scent, I love it.highly recommended.
by guest
Decent odour, although very strong!
Really nice smell, this one. Good for events or somewhere where you want to make an impression. i would say only use a little amount or you'll blow someone away but very nice, bit of spice and very masculine.
by guest
Great Scent!
Who doesn’t love trying different scents?! This scent is long lasting, smells gorgeous, and is versatile for day to day use or special occasions. A couple of spritz’s of Mr Sam makes you feel confident, strong and ready for the day.
by guest
Amazing but pricey!
Firstly I want to say this is definitely a premium quality fragrance and it smells great and lasts all day. It’s more of a sweeter scent but still very fresh. The only downside I can find is how expensive this is, I can’t fault the scent or longevity’s but it is definitely on the higher price
by guest
Fantastic
Both me and my wife love this. It’s a very autumn type smell, maybe abit woody? Love it! It also lasts for all day! I put it on first thing in the morning and worked all day and even by the evening you could smell it!
by guest
Its okay
I'm not a fan of this. I found when you first spray, it doesn't really smell like much then after a few minutes the scent comes through. It lasted a fair while although can't really describe the scent. It's okay its just not my cup of tea
by guest
Excellent Eau de Parfum
Got this a couple of weeks ago and it's really grown on me. At first it's a bit overpowering and didn't smell great, but after a few minutes it settled down and was really nice. It's quite woody and slightly sweet & fruity - a nice combination. The scent lasted all day, which i was really impressed with.
by guest
Lovely little sample
My partner really enjoyed this sample the scent lasted all day and wasn't overpowering he was able to just use a little bit which he liked and made the sample last alot longer that any other sample he has tried I think I will be definitely consider buying him this as a present
by guest
Very high quality perfume
A very warming and spicy scent that lingers onto you for a long time..I absolutely loved wearing it as it uplifts you in these colder days. Ideal for wearing in the winter months. The scent isn't empowering but enough to get you noticed. Could definitely smell cinnamon and makes you feel cosy. Wearing it makes you feel masculine and confident and ideal to wear on special events especially date nights!
by guest
One of my favourite penhaligon scents
From first smell i was in love with this scent, it is my kind of smell which is spicy with cardomon and cinnamon also has tobacco and vanilla in. Strong and long lasting. Not a common smell so it feels nice wearing something different and luxurious compared to high street designer smells everyone smells like.
by guest
One of my the most intense fragrances
I think this is possibly one of the most unique and intense fragrances I've had the fortune of smelling. It has a perfect blend of warm spices, with an undertone of wood and tobacco to make the ultimate special occasions scent. I adore the intensity of this fragrance, leaving a trail no matter what room you walk into, you'll certainly have heads turning.
by guest
Classic fragrance
I tried The Blazing Mr Sam's Eau de Parfum and found it really interesting! I love the name and the concept. The fragrance is a classic timely one, and great as an alternative choice when in the mood.
by guest
Nice smell
I gave this to my partner to try, he and I love the smell he would not usually change his aftershave so it was nice to have a change and convince him about other options that are available . Would buy again if a reasonable price
by guest
Wow just wow
Wow!!! What a parfum, from the moment I put the first spray on my fiancé i instantly fell in love, The smell is strong but not too overpowering and it lasts too, He was getting compliments all day It has spicy woody notes to it, it’s just soo lovey. I honestly think it can be a unisex parfum/ perfume as I’ve started using it too now
by guest
Great
I have really enjoyed using this product it smells amazing, I have been getting lots of compliments when I have this on, I would highly recommend this to everyone to buy. I would definitely buy again as gifts for my family
by guest
Strong and Spicy
This fragrance starts out with a strong spicy scent which develops into a more mellow creamy, woody scent with hints of vanilla. It is perfect for any occasion and lasts a good length of time. It would make a great gift for any man in your life.

Amazing experience
Had a great experience it he Covent Garden store today on my 1st fragrance journey. I had the journey by happenstance passing the store that was pumping out a vapour into the air from a small pipe in the shop frontage. Intrigued I went inside to be greeted by the very knowledgeable staff. She took me through several fragrances, starting with my preferences in fragrances generally and working from there by a process of elimination. She whittled it down to 2 scents. I had a spritz of both and said I’d wander round London and come back later. 6-7 hours had passed and this fragrance had developed beautifully and was as potent as the first spritz several hours before. Very impressed with the longevity of the scent I returned to the store with my partner and purchased the fragrance. Feeling bad I encouraged him to have his own fragrance journey which resulted in another purchase. Very happy and the customer service was great. No pressure, just passionate staff about the products they sell. How every business should present. Id recommend anyone visiting Covent Garden to pop by.

Mr James M
I have to say the moment I smelt Mr Sam, I knew that I had found my perfect scent. My wife and I love Halfeti but for me Mr Sam is just amazing, I have just bought another bottle and would highly recommend it!!!

A swanky member of the portraits collection. His gentle pepper note combined with cardamom and cumin give him an edge which is reflected in his bold character, an American in England. To me, this fragrance is ideal for autumn and winter months, as it is perhaps a little heavier than some of the other members within this collection. This is perfect for a gent, or lady, who is looking for a compliment-getter, or perhaps just a fragrance intended to instil confidence.
by Hugo Tucker
Penhaligon’s Fragrance Team member, HQ
I never thought Mr Sam would be the one for me, but following a blind fragrance profiling led by one of our incredible fragrance sommeliers at the Wellington St store, this was the one I chose. A beautiful, powerful unisex fragrance that strikes the perfect balance of spice and wood without being to overbearing in any one way. Definitely a fragrance to be worn on special evening occasions, and one that leaves a lasting impression with others. A scent that exudes luxury, confidence and balance.
by Keeley Stenson
Penhaligons Team Member, Liverpool
My first ever Penhaligons fragrance and still one i hold dear! I love the blend of cardamom with tobacco leaf and saffron, softened with the creamy cedar and vanilla base! To me, The Blazing Mr Sam smells adventurous and daring yet playful! Just like his character would suggest. A perfect fragrance for any gender.
by Dimitrios Derveklis
Penhaligon’s Fragrance Team member, HQ
Sweet/ Spice fragrance lovers Sam is here to stay! Sam is extremely long lasting. If you need a scent for the whole day a spritz will take you a long way. Cedarwood & Cardamom are the key cords of this fragrance. Bonus: the bottle is a piece of art! Extra Bonus: Halfeti enthusiasts: Add it in your bag!
by guest
Bold and Confident
I find The Blazing Mr Sam to be a bold and confident fragrance, which I love wearing at this time of year as it's woody with just the right amount of spice!
by Sterling Ginger
Mmmm, very nice
I just left Selfridges with my fiancé and I decided to give this a try. She like it immediately but I had to warm up to it. After walking around the mall, I kept smelling this luxurious smell around me while forgetting I had someone spray Blazing Mister Sam on me. I'm from the US so I don't think there are stores nearby as in the UK. However, I might have to get a bottle. Especially since the Mrs. loves it. Five star.
by Mara Iovan
Absolutely in love
I just bought this after trying a few perfumes in the Covent Garden shop. I just loved this on my skin. The girls there were lovely and very helpful, also very knowledgeable. They recommended a few perfumes and gave me samples. I can't wait to wear this, it makes me feel gorgeous and confident.
by Holly Mason
Blazing Mr Sam, an ocean of aroma
I was very sweetly given a sample of this from a member of staff in the Edinburgh store - I decided to premiere it on my graduation day and for this reason, it is now a scent that I relate to pride, resilience and strength. With the very small amount that I used, the scent was so beautiful and powerful and lasted all day. I would love to be able to reminisce and feel like I did on this day again when wearing this wonderful perfume. IG- hol.mas
by Andrea Cain
Unbelievably Amazing smell
Oh wow! I simply cannot explain just how AMAZING, different and just beautiful this fragrance is. You've got to smell it to believe it. I have to admit, this is an expensive luxury but, having said that, it's a luxury worth it because its just gorgeous. I defy anyone to smell it and try it on for yourself and not agree that it's gorgeous and different. Once tried always remembered is what I'd say. If you want a real luxury to treat someone or yourself - try this. I defy anyone to say I'm wrong. PS; I'm a woman and I just love having this on me. Yummy!

Blazing Mr Sam
Once again a very long lasting scent but even with the blend of scents I love . Its too sweet all your scents in this collection have that powdery scent and their just too sweet !!! Buy a bottle of Creed Tabarome or George Trumper Eucris both are wonderful scents yet they lack the feminine smell in all your colognes . I really want to use your fragrances but the sweetness is overpowering !!

Incredible
This is one of the nicest perfumes I’ve ever used, and it’s so unique too. It’s got a deep almost fruity scent with berry undertones but it’s not sweet or too heavy. I only used a couple of sprays and yet I could smell it all day. I tried a sample sized spray but I’ll be asking my husband for a bottle if this for Christmas. It’s absolutely divine.
