About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
The Impudent Cousin Matthew is a 2019 release from Penhaligon's, part of their Portraits collection. This citrus aromatic opens with a bright, juicy mandarin orange that quickly gives way to the green, slightly bitter freshness of petitgrain. The base is anchored by a dry, earthy patchouli that adds depth without overpowering the citrus. The overall effect is clean, sharp, and effortlessly elegant.
Collectors who appreciate straightforward, well-executed citrus scents will find this appealing. It suits a man who prefers a crisp, professional fragrance for daytime wear, especially in spring or summer. The patchouli base gives it enough substance to feel refined rather than fleeting. If you enjoy classic colognes with a modern twist, this is worth seeking out. The composition is simple but not simplistic, making it a versatile addition to any collection.
