Original Blend Original Penguin, that first saw the light of day in 2016, is classified as a masculine fragrance, drawing from the fern and water families. Concentration — eau de toilette: exactly what it needs to be.
Expect a delicate sillage: a quiet, intimate presence. Every application feels like a little ritual — longevity is low. the United States is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Original Blend Original Penguin unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Original Blend unfolds as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Original Penguin is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Wood, Amber, Leather and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence Low points to a sustained drydown presence.
Right at the start you catch sparkling citrus first notes: Apple, Bergamot and Lime.
In the heart you meet Lavender, Nutmeg and Suede keeping a cool herbal direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Fruit, Citrus, Green and Spicy. The palette also extends to Leather, Ambery, Wood and Musk.
Overall Original Blend sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
