Fortuitous Finley by Penhaligon'sPenhaligon'sFortuitous Finley4.022 ratings

Finley feels truly unique to me. It manages to feel fresh and clean while also having a fair amount of depth. Finley also has an old school vibe, but doesn't seem dated.

The spices do work up front (cardamom, black pepper, salt, star anise) with matcha and violet moving in through the heart, and a leather and light patchouli that's present underneath the whole time. Performance is also very good. I absolutely love wearing it; if I were to become a pure signature scent guy, this is one of a few I would strongly consider.

Penhaglion's knocked it out of the park with this one.

    I tried this one last year and found it reeeeally good! Are you thinking about getting a FB?

      Someday. It might be my "holy grail." In the meantime, I've found a clone that does a damn good job, but is missing some of the bright pop in the opening. I love pulling the real deal out every few months, though. I've significantly reduced my fragrance buying this year, so I'm hoping to budget for Finley sometime maybe next year as I empty a few more bottles.
