Listen I am a super fan of Penhaligons and my no. 1 perfume of all time is Halfeti. But I will say, I’m fully aware of how powerful their perfumes are. I only ever wear one spritz of any Penhaligons fragrances. I do what I call the “dude move” and spritz one time up my shirt onto my abdomen. Doing that once with Halfeti will last me ALL DAY.

Ngl getting reprimanded is a horrible feeling, but Penhaligon's Halfeti isn't something I'd constitute as office-friendly at all. It's very intense and also gave me a migraine just from sniffing it on the blotter in the store. If your office has a lenient policy on scents, and you still want to wear something, I'd pick something more skin scent, light and clean. Also, ask a trusted friend or family members (who aren't biased) if they can smell you up close for a test. But honestly, after getting reprimanded, I'd skip wearing fragrance to work altogether just to be on the safe side. We fragrance lovers tend to go nose blind to our own scents which is why our perspective is so different than people who only occasionally wear fragrances or those with scent sensitivities.
