Juniper Sling by Penhanligan's

Greetings from Asheville, SC! I spent the past week here enjoying the southern heat and humidity, and to balance things out, I decided to test a mini bottle of Penhaligon's Juniper Sling. After four days of wear, here are my impressions.

Spraying it on, I was greeted with a bright burst of fresh, crisp, and green aroma. The opening is unexpectedly loud and sharp for such a fresh scent. After about 15 minutes, it settles into a clean, crisp gin-like aroma. If you're familiar with gin, especially deep into the scent game, you'll recognize the juniper character that stays with you for the first hour. As it dries down, a subtle mild sweetness emerges.

In terms of performance, the scent starts strong with notable projection for the first 15 minutes. It then becomes quite faint unless worn outdoors in the heat, where I could still smell it on my skin. On hot days, I was able to detect it until about the fifth hour. Without the heat, I estimate it would fade after 2 to 3 hours.

Overall, Juniper Sling is a solid fragrance that truly shines in hot weather, making it ideal for those sunny days.
