Noble Stag (Inspired by Tragedy of Lord George)

This is pure, concentrated perfume oil and still needs to be diluted.
This can be done with perfumer’s alcohol , or alcohol-free with a carrier oil such as jojoba or fractionated coconut oil .

Example:
To make 50 ml of eau de toilette, use 2.5 to 5 ml of the fragrance concentrate and add 45 to 47.5 ml of perfumer’s alcohol or jojoba oil.

Perfume type	Concentrate (%)	30 ml bottle	50 ml bottle	100 ml bottle
Perfume / Extract	20–35%	6–10.5 ml	10–17.5 ml	20–35 ml
Eau de Parfum (EdP)	10–20%	3–6 ml	5–10 ml	10–20 ml
Eau de Toilette (EdT)	5–10%	1.5–3 ml	2.5–5 ml	5–10 ml
Eau de Cologne	2–5%	0.6–1.5 ml	1–2.5 ml	2–5 ml
Aftershave / Eau Fraîche	1–3%	0.3–0.9 ml	0.5–1.5 ml	1–3 ml

💡 Explanation : The higher the percentage of fragrance concentrate, the more intense and longer the scent lasts.
Perfume contains the most concentration and lasts the longest on the skin.
Aftershave and Eau Fraîche are the lightest and evaporate faster.

As a hobby perfumer, you can expand or personalize this fragrance with aroma chemicals.
to strengthen or refine certain facets. For example, by:

Top notes strengthen (boozy, warm, aristocratic)

The original fragrance opens warm and slightly alcoholic – you can enhance this with:

• Rum Ether – enhances the boozy character
• Cinnamon (very subtle) – warm, winter spiciness
• Cardamom – luxurious, slightly sweet spiciness
• Pink Pepper – modern, sparkling spiciness
• Bergamot (low) – for a gentle elevator without being fresh

 

Heart notes enrich (tonka, amber, wood, elegant)

The heart of Lord George is warm, creamy and ambery.

• Tonka bean-enhances the creamy, sweet tonka core
• Cashmeran – warm, musky, woody, aristocratic
• Iso E Super – diffused wood, luxurious and modern
• Cedarwood Virginia – dry, elegant wood
• Opoponax – sweet, balsamic, perfect for a rich amber

 

Base strengthen (amber, resins, animalic, warm)

Here you make the fragrance deeper, richer and more “gentleman’s club.”

• Labdanum / Cistus – warm amber-leather vibe
• Ambermax – powerful, modern amber
• Ambroxan – long-lasting ambergris warmth
• Vanilla – deep, natural vanilla
• Suederal (very subtle) – soft, aristocratic leather nuance
• Patchouli Light / Clearwood – clean, woody, modern

 

Special accents (for added aristocratic depth)

For an even richer, more Penhaligon’s-like signature:

• Honey-soft sweetness, warm and classic
• Champaca – subtly smoky, mysterious
• Styrax – resinous, warm, slightly smoky
• Black agar – dark wood, luxurious and masculine
• Castoreum Base (trace amounts!) – animal heat, very subtle

 

Sample mini recipe (Noble Stag – Aristocrat Edition)

For 50 ml of Eau de Parfum:

• 5 ml Noble Stag (10%)
• 0.3 ml Tonka bean extract
• 0.2 ml Cashmeran
• 0.2 ml Labdanum
• 0.1 ml Rum Ether
