PENHALIGON S Much Ado About the Duke Eau De Parfum Spary 75ml

Product Information

Much ado about the Duke - if you are looking for a fragrance that is Quirky slightly eccentric and androgynous then I think this is a perfect fit perfectly crisp and fresh but also with a beautiful woddy/vetiver base this is a fragrance that will hold to the skin well and will not overpower you

I ended up liking a lot about this story! Sometimes I can dislike the stories that really focus on the suffragette battles because the romance has gotten lost for me on a few of them. But I thought this has a nice balance. It really gave the characters more depth and passion and I felt like I was more invested in their happiness.

Date

The handsome young Duke’s peppery rose fragrance sets hearts aflutter – but not the ones you might think. His wife, the most coveted girl in London, seems not to interest him at all. Fancy that. The beginning of the book was pure RELISH. I loved the anticipation of their first meeting, how their preconceived ideas of each other had nothing on how they actually found each to be. I also really enjoyed every time Will and Beatrice were together, their witty dialogues and undeniable attraction to each other. For his part, William suffers from depressive tendencies, and I found this to be very relatable and it was admirable that he admitted this weakness fairly readily, at least to himself. Beatrice didn’t seem too concerned about William or his feelings and actually did her best to alienate him for a while, despite the fact that he was the one man who agreed with her and might be able to help her cause. Even as he was telling her he agreed with her, she was still coming after him. Because he was a man, she refused to listen to anything he had to say. This wasn’t helped by the fact that William feels connected to Beatrice (though for the life of me I can’t see why), and this makes him terrified because she makes him feel. These two may have agreed on a great many things, but Beatrice wouldn’t concede that they had anything in common or give him any credit, so I was just puzzled about the connection that was supposedly growing between them. Beatrice spends a great deal of time bemoaning William’s arrogance, but I found her to be much more arrogant than he was, perhaps made even worse by the fact that she thinks she knows everything but it’s very clear that she’s incredibly naïve and has a lot to learn. Moments I liked: Will gives Beatrice boxing lessons and agrees to teach her how to throw a punch, Will’s relationships with his brothers who he raised for the past decade after their father died young and their mother left them, all of the Shakespeare. While attempting to keep love out of their relationship, they do give into their lust right away (starting on their wedding night) which was refreshing to see! Will and Beatrice also begin working side by side for ladies’ rights, he even joins her outside of Parliament to hand out pamphlets! And of course I loved the grovel at the end, his speech of all the things he hated before and then the things he actually loves. Vetiver is there rather a different caliber, which I often meet with skepticism. What attracts me to it but again and again, is this green, citrus freshness, which it often brings and the woody something. In the case of Portrait des Dukes, subtly woody, lemongrass-like notes rise from the base very soon, which I would most likely attribute to vetiver. And so beautiful my nose has never experienced them before.

It absolutely underlines the male character such as strength, sovereignty, down-to-earth, alpha, independence but also the at the same time the pleasant such as familiarity, warmth, closeness. As a base smell im at the spray head actually most striking the rose; on the skin remains at the end of the most beautiful me so far encountered vetiver as the last. The premise is rather exhilarating: every character is a contestant on a TV reality show, called Nothing Island, set in villa Messina. The producers of the show, along with the two runners, are there to ensure a smooth running of the new season, and to concoct the right amount of juicy tension to keep the audience enthralled and on the edge of their seats. The producers’ dreams come true when contestants Claudio and Hero fall in love. Another contestant, however, is plotting against their union. And so nasty rumours are being spread around, gossip whispered from ear to ear, deaths are faked, drama ensues. A battle of the sexes is crafted carefully, with humour and heart, offering a modern and timely commentary on love, desire and deception. Much Ado About Dukes made me laugh out loud and smile! The banter between Beatrice and Will was so much fun and I loved how it showed their other sides! From the moment they met, there was chemistry and the tension between them that was electrifying. But they were both weary of love. So the moments they caused each other to faulter was exciting and left me hoping for more! And as they spent more time around each other, they helped each other see who they truly were and open their eyes to the ways of the world. I loved that they brought out the best from each other. When their moment together led to more, this book was sensually seductive!Juniper seems to be one of the fragrances that go with me through the nose directly into the brain stem and paralyze there everything that just thinks I have to make life difficult.
