Terrible Teddy by Penhaligon's, crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch and launched in 2019, is a fragrance that defies convention with its smoky, leathery warmth. The top note of incense introduces an element of mystery, while the heart of leather adds depth and character. The base note of ambroxan creates a musky, balsamic finish that lingers on skin long after application. This composition is neither delicate nor reserved; it stands out with its bold animalic and warm spicy accords.
